23 injured in temple’s ubosot floor collapse

 

 

A total of 23 people attending a foundation stone laying ceremony for the construction of an ubosot (chapel) at a temple in Warin Chamrab district of the northeastern province of Ubon Ratchathani were injured when a temporary floor of the ubosot caved in.

 

The incident took place Friday morning at Wat Pa Ubonkaew where a foundation stone laying ceremony was held.

 

Rescue workers said the contractor had laid the supporting beams for the floor of the ubosot which is about 6-7 metres above the ground, but it has not yet built the cement floor and, therefore used plywood board as temporary floor of the ubosot.

"Police however said that they would summon the contractor for questioning before a charge of negligence causing injuries to the other people would be filed against him.

Meanwhile, the temple administrator said that the temple would take care of the medical expenses of all the injured, including three who suffered fractured leg bones."

This would have been the last time the temple would have seen a single Baht thamboon from me ...

That plywood they are using is plastic coated crap and meant for form work not structural. It is also the cheapest in the shop. Which is why they chose it of course

This is the only country I’ve been in that makes India look relatively safe.

At least they get the lottery numbers right, right?

"Unfortunately, there were too many people standing on the temporary plywood board floor", none of whom appeared to be wearing an Amulet. 

It's just a stage they're going through..

Another example of "Amulet Insurance" being required. Obviously not enough amulets or possibly the wrong ones being worn. Different amulets protect you from different things - if only they'd worn their "protection against falling through badly supported floors" amulets, surely we'd be commenting on a different story?
