Analysis Quake Risk Lurking Under Bangkok: Fault Lines Spell Trouble
I think that was 'answered' - 1 building collapse (due to corruption). Despite the considerable distance from the epicenter, Bangkok experienced significant shaking due to seismic wave amplification caused by the city's deep, soft alluvial soils - we all know that by now. Remarkably, the city's infrastructure largely withstood the seismic event. only major structural failure was the collapse of a 30-story building under construction, intended to house Thailand’s State Audit Office. This tragic 96 confirmed fatalities, with several individuals still missing. Investigations into the 'State Audit Office Building' collapse that resulted in 96 confirmed fatalties have uncovered significant structural deficiencies, including the use of substandard materials and design flaws, particularly in the building's lift shaft. These issues have led to criminal charges against 17 individuals, including prominent construction executives. In contrast, Bangkok's extensive expressway network and other high-rise structures remained intact - I think this demonstrates the effectiveness of modern engineering practices and that there was adherence to updated building codes, older buildings also seem well built. Considering the localised magnitude of the quake in Bangkok – estimated to be roughly equivalent to a 6.0 on the Richter scale – one could reasonably argue that the city and its infrastructure withstood the event remarkably well. A quake of that same localised intensity could have been far more devastating in other major cities such as London, Paris, or Barcelona. Their older building stock and codes. Fortunately, the lack of proximity to fault lines or susceptibility to seismic amplification naturally renders these area's far less vulnerable. Thus - I think there is a strong argument to suggest that the durability of Bangkok's Buildings and infrastructure, was tested, and it passed - Yes, cosmetic damage but no major structural damage or collapses - arguably, thousands and thousands of lives saved. -

Yamaha warranty on second-hand bike
Yes, I believe this is the case too... Saying that, they usually put all their service data into their computer, and any dealer can access it. So can buy from one place but service in another etc. However, they use the lack warranty service book as excuse to not honor warranties. To be honest though, if the bike was serviced at Yamaha regularly it would have come with the service book..., but worth asking to check on computer..., give them the green book to check (say I just want fir my information, to see what was done...!)- 1
