    Might be because the Thaksin family has shared in Thai/Italia

    I thought I read the Thaksin family has shared in Thai/Italia which I believe is one of the contractors.

    No offence to our Pommy friends, but I believe, in Britain, garbos are Sanitary "Engineers." 555

    This building is not based on earthquake proofing principles, I think it's called a floating slab design... Considering Thailand passed earthquake design regulations a few years ago this building should not have been built the way it was... Also, materials also before standards.

    Then watch the news.

    If you mean why less damage, that's easy Bangkok is built on clay like ground, this slows down the earthquake waves, but makes them stronger... chiang Mai is a lot firmer... There is a reason Bangkok is sinking.

    I have no idea.. I do know Kanchanaburi, did not feel much of a tremor.

    I think you need to be reminded the epi-centre was 1400 kms away, and look at the damage in Bangkok, if the epi-centre was closer, the damage would certainly been much higher. usually 1400kms would be hardly noticeable.

    Best you actually look at what I was replying to... it was about the World Trade Center.... another hint 911

    It seems Russian workers are a protected species.. recently saw videos, from Walking Street, openly advertising Russian girls, on placards being held by young farang makes.

    I don't care what she sells but are the t shirts legal, in Thailand.
  14. Aussie999
    OMG, I actually agree with you... the world truly is coming to an end.
  15. Aussie999
    No, it's because Thaksin made a lot of money, selling it to the government, when he was PM... 555

    I thought that was the nickname for the airport
  17. Aussie999
    yeah, the whole building crumbled
  18. Aussie999
    I thought an investigation found internal iron core was weakened by the heat, causing the collapse.
  19. Aussie999
    Did you notice how narrow the support pillars are... oops, were.
  20. Aussie999
    true, but in emergencies a work permit should be waived.
  21. Aussie999
    Strange, my landlord, an ex-military diver, and voluntary Thai police, and his qualified mates, were all refused...
  22. Aussie999
    watch again, no pancake... the whole structure seemed to collapse.
  23. Aussie999
    It's hard to get news from Myanmar, the military junta heavily restricts outside media.
  24. Aussie999
    Yeah, I remember the tsunami, Thailand refused outside help... also refused qualitied farang divers, living in Phuket.
  25. Aussie999
    just to remind you, the actual earthquake was 1400 kms away... Bangkok was lucky
