That looks like a bridge over a klong, so maybe several dozen metres down the road may have a safe haven. 

He won't care one bit next week for the deaths he has caused.

And of courses,  he didn't do it the sleep did.

Regardless of your misconception of the phrase, my comment was not sarcasm, it was a serious question based on your odd suggestion that they should have "climbed somewhere else".
