As the Opal Tower debacle stretched into its fourth day, displaced and anxious residents from 51 evacuated apartments hoped for good news that would allow them to finally return home.

Instead, by Thursday afternoon, building management had announced the entire building would be evacuated for the second time, this time for up to an estimated 10 days.

Bewildered residents returned home with some learning of the news from media stationed outside, before they attended an emergency meeting inside to find out more details.

At a press conference with building company Icon, anger boiled over as one resident interrupted and demanded answers directly from Icon management.
