B: Oh no, that's tragic! What happened to those messages?
A: People were visiting the park to offer flowers and messages of sorrow, but now they're all gone. It looks like the authorities wanted to contain criticism against the government.
B: So sad... I can't imagine losing 159 lives in a fire! Many others are still missing too.
