As a deadly typhoon raged in Hong Kong, a father was seen ordering his children to pose for a photograph, that soon went viral highlighting his irresponsible conduct.

Taken in Hong Kong as tropical storm Mangkhut brought life to a standstill in the populous southeastern China city, the photo piqued the curiosity of millions around the world.

Mangkhut made landfall in the Philippine province of Cagayan on September 15 and subsequently impacted both, Hong Kong and southern China. Wind speeds have clocked at over 285 km/h, with the gusts said to have reached around 225 km/h  at the time the dad asked the two small kids to stop and pose.
