100% riders fault. Just not in the way everyone thinks. Some riders don't understand that a bike has to lean to turn. They iterally cannot steer a motorcycle and are riding right into things. Like this. The bike could probably take that turn at 3 times the speed that he is going. But he doesn't countersteer/lean and therefore the bike doesnt turn https://smartcdn.gprod.postmedia.digital/driving/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/bike-crash.gif?quality=90&strip=all&w=2400&h=1350&type=webp&sig=dgM60dN0_gtMtSkYP0GXew

I wonder what the scandal mongers would be dining out on if not for this building collapse. 4.7 seems low for the kind of shaking that was going on in Bangkok, especially the videos from the towers. There is more factors than just the magnitude. Depth also plays a big part. We had a 4.7 magnitude earthquake in Vancouver British Columbia 1 month ago. It was nothing more than a curiosity with no damage recorded. Yet in Bangkok with the same alleged 4.7 magnitude, the buildings are swaying side to side to the point where pool water is all landing on the streets. There is hardly any worthwhile footage other than a camera mounted to a flimsy pole to good effect. The quake was just below the threshold where damage should be expected they say

Nah. Probably not. Most failures like this are engineering failures. The unconventional design theory makes a hell of a lot more sense than the "rebar bad" nonsense.

For the audit admin building it was the following: The contractors were Italian-Thai Development under the supervision of China Railway Engineering Corporation.[ It wasn't a Chinese company doing the building. The rebar story that suddenly appeared out of nowhere led to a Chinese company allegedly. Now everyone thinks it was a Chinese building. Its a standard propaganda tactic Here is a headline from ABC news Australia: Beijing censors Bangkok high-rise collapse, as Chinese company faces investigations in Thailand

It was probably at a curve in the road , like most of them are. Seems like there are a lot of motorcycle riders who don't understand how a motorcycle actually turns . And then literally everyone except me, blames the speed.

Anyway this building must have used only the finest rebar available in the world , from the smelters in Stuttgart.

Stop with the unfounded nonsense maybe. It must not be fun being somehow stuck in a country that you so completely detest. Is that the Thai's fault too ?

Today's corruption is nothing compared to the corruption back then. This must be a joke

Is this supposed to be some gotcha video ? It was a 7.7 magnitude earthquake. That is classic pancaking. One floor buckles and lands on the lower floor. Then one floor is holding 2 floors so it fails and so on.

Boomer take

Nothing is confirmed. Half of Bangkok is probably built with this rebar and those buildings are still standing. This reeks of a pseudo investigation for normie public consumption. Bad rebar ! 3 days after the earthquake and the investigation is done. Bad rebar made the building collapse. What a joke. It takes 28 days for concrete to cure. When was the last pour? Is it normal for buildings to be earthquake proof while they are under construction? Google says no. No, half-built buildings are not inherently earthquake-proof; their seismic resistance depends on the design, materials, and construction methods used, which are typically not fully implemented during the early stages of construction Nobody knows why this building collapsed. There hasn't been an investigation. Has the engineered design of the building been checked ? 3 days in ? There could be something wrong with the engineering of the building. But we don't know yet. My guess is the partial state of construction of the building and the 7.7 magnitude earthquake that it was in the middle of played a part.

He must have smoked a marijuana cigarette

I didn't know that this place was Bob's blog. He posts nonsense all day and ppl respond

bob couldn't even imagine that there's 2 sides to every story. Putin attacked Ukraine because Putin bad. Me wear Ukraine pin.

Filthy chav

He got off lucky.

This is posted on almost every news thread like this. yawn

Because the victim died in 2021. They found that the cause of death was directly related to the assault that happened in 2012. So now it becomes a murder investigation. If you beat someone senseless with a piece of steel pipe, but it takes them 12 years to die, you become a murderer the day that person dies. I wonder where this fine chap Sean Tinsely is today

Your pal Sean went back to the bar that night and bragged about what he did with the metal pipe in the attack

The kinds of women who seek these guys out are just the same Another bird sh** farang giving the white man a bad name

This was 100% self defense

This hyperbolic nonsense says more about you and your state of mind than it does about Thais

The whole nightclub scene in the west is also stacked with thug bouncers. Its the same around the world. My question is why a 62 year old would want to go to a nightclub.

He probably made peace with his decision and thought he was going to get caught at any moment. He probably wasn't stressed. Its not like he had a meth lab or something.

It doesn't sound like there was much of a method to this guy's madness The cops just went to a place frequented by farangs and there he was. That's a lesson for those who want to break his record. Don't go to the farang dives.
