Divine intervention! Temple repairs go awry as mobile crane collapses

Repairs to the top part of a crematorium chimney at the temple of Wat Khon Kha Liap in Nakhon Sri Thammarat in the south of Thailand went disastrously wrong yesterday. 

 

But the locals still found cause to celebrate divine intervention. 

 

A mobile crane had been employed to lift part of the chimney but it proved to be a little too heavy. This caused the crane to topple over.

 

The crematorium building and a sala or pavilion were damaged.

But remarkably the images of Somdej Prajao Taksin and Lung Poo Thuat were undamaged. 

 

The locals pointed to their sacredness as a reason for this eventuality.

Too much hidden gold under the roof or in the chimney.

All cranes have overload indicators and audible alarms some even have automatic cut-offs to prevent overload. These devices to not compensate for untrained operators and deliberate bypassing of safety devices. An entirely preventable incident by Somchai.

The place is full of fake amulets.
