No intent to speculate, but in 2010 it was in flames with intentional arson perpetrated by social unrests and protests.

Doesn't look good. 

 

 

 

Just been past Central World, it looks to be out now, but there's a video on line of a poor soul having to jump out of the window.  What a terrible choice to have to make.

 

I was shown the video by one of our office team - wish I hadn't seen it. 

 

Traffic on Rama 1, Soi Chidlom and Ratchdamri is very slow.
