Severe lack of building standards & safety regulations - Sad!!

And very little to zero inspection and monitoring by local authorities. 

 

I wonder if there was even a qualified engineer on site?

Bit of a myth 'jerry built' our house in England was jerry built by German prisoners of war, where i believe that expression came from as a derogatory term. That house is still standing with perfect brick work and original roof, no cracks or lose tiles. Unlike my Thai built house with leaky roof, not enough screws in gypsum board making it sag. just saying.

 Crane operator/rigger at fault IMO, crane operators only need a licence if off shore or working for big oil companies to the best of my knowledge, one also has to be fairly good at maths, that goes for riggers too. Mia Pen ria TIT

Also look at the distance between the posts in the wall and the height of the first cross beam support in the wall.  These supports appear quite far apart.

 

Take a look at the vertical posts in the wall.  They appear to be made from stacked blocks rather than the normal steel reinforced poured concrete.
