Imagine if the US Congress was stormed en masse by a group of angry young protesters or if the Houses of Commons at Westminster was occupied.
This is what has happened in Hong Kong tonight.
After a day of angry clashes between protesters and police, and vandalism of the building's exterior, demonstrators finally breached a metal shutter leading to the building just before 9 p.m. local time.
Riot police who had been standing behind the door retreated, effectively leaving the building to hundreds of protesters who poured inside.
Inside the building, the atmosphere is a mix of cheering and destruction, as demonstrators smash everything in sight while chanting "add oil."
