geovalin Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 PHNOM PENH: At least 24 people were killed and 23 injured after a building in Cambodia collapsed, trapping workers under rubble, officials said on Sunday. The seven-storey concrete building collapsed on Friday in the coastal town of Kep, about 160 km (100 miles) southwest of the capital Phnom Penh. It came a year after another construction site collapsed, killing 28 people in Preah Sihanouk province. read more https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/world/cambodia-building-collapse-death-toll-rises-24-phnom-penh-12234624?

neeray Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Travelling around Asia, I am always appalled at the sight of bamboo scaffolding, workers in flip flops and a few sticks of rebar protruding out of a concrete column. Little wonder why these buildings sometimes collapse. Regrets (but not surprised) to read of one more construction collapse here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaoboi Bebobp Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Sad to report that Reuters says death toll is now 36. It's hard to look at the photos of the concrete floors literally collapsed one upon the other. Shockingly poor construction practices. https://ca.reuters.com/article/topNews/idCAKBN1Z401D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
