webfact Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Police and rescue services were called to a seven story block of flats in Nonthaburi that collapsed while it was being demolished yesterday. It happened adjacent to Klong Prapa near the end of Soi Prachacheun 7. Poh Teck Tung rescue teams took four hours to free a backhoe driver who was trapped under fallen masonry. He was extricated and taken to hospital. Work had been going on at the site since October 1st after permission had been sought to demolish it. There were six backhoe drivers and twenty others working on the demolition at the time. Up to yesterday there had been no issues. Khom Saengbamrung - chief engineer of the Nonthaburi authority - told Daily News that it appeared that an inexperienced backhoe driver had caused the collapse after negligent work near a central support pillar. The chief of the team of workers was out at lunch at the time leaving only subordinates in charge. Investigations are underway with the police checking that all permits for demolition were in order. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2021-10-13 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
