Fire engulfed a high-rise apartment building under renovation in China's business center of Shanghai on Monday, killing 53 people and sending residents scrambling down scaffolding to escape, city authorities said. The fire reportedly began when building materials ignited. The blaze spread to scaffolding and then to the 28-story apartment block itself, which houses a number of retired teachers, it said
