Daily News reported on the snapping of a crane at a construction site in Samut Prakan.

 

The crane fell on some houses and killed a motorcycle taxi driver called Chalerm Jamnong, 48.

 

Rescue services had to extricate his body from under some counterbalance weights. 

 

Bang Bo police mounted an initial investigation into the collapse of the 8 ton crane.

 

They discovered that it was involved in construction of a five story luxury condo building and had been in operation for just a few months.

 

All permits were above board and applied for.

 

The driver of the fixed crane Sirirat told investigators that he had entered the crane but had not yet lifted anything.

 

As he turned the crane it snapped as a result of soil erosion on supports under its base. 

 

He suffered a minor arm injury. 

 

Daily News reported the one death and two injuries in the incident.

Close engineering schools and stop construction management certification. Skip any geologic site analysis it is a waste of time. Give out heavy equipment operating  licenses to all who enquire free with no exams or apprenticeship. When a crane accident happens in Thailand it is the ground itself at fault.

 

Good points, waste of time, because there's no word in Thai language for 'checking'.
