Picture: Thai Rath

 

Klong Luang police attended the scene after a large road sign traversing Pahonyothin Road outbound came crashing down on a Mitsubishi Pajero during yesterday evening's rush hour.

 

It happened at KM marker 39 +100 outbound during a storm with high winds and heavy rain. 

 

The sign and its support hit the back of the vehicle in traffic but the occupants - 66 year old Suniyom Taprap and his daughter - were unhurt but in a state of shock, reported Thai Rath.

If only Dad had his foot on the gas a bit more.

Very unlucky. Wrong place at the wrong time by half a second.

Because you said my post overused quote : lame Thaivisa mockery - when in fact it did not and I offered another typical example of Thai engineering to prove it

Mocking and slurring Thailand, as you did ("Thai engineering"), is lame and hackneyed, that is what I was commenting on.  You have no idea if the sign was badly engineered.

A well engineered & structurally sound sign collapsed on the road / vehicle…  
 

No issues with quality of engineering and inspection of work.

 

The Wall collapse at Don Muang Airport of course has nothing to do with engineering standards.

 

Nothing to see here… Don’t bash Thailand, you’ll upset our resident apologist !!! ????????

hackneyed

In case anyone is curious:

 

hackneyed (adj.)

"trite, so overused as to have become uninteresting," 1749, figurative use of past-participle adjective from hackney (v.) "use a horse for riding" (1570s), hence "make common by indiscriminate use" (1590s), from hackney (n.), and compare hack (n.2) in its specialized sense of "one who writes anything for hire." From 1769 as "kept for hire."

Regardless of who built it, no-one bothered to maintain it.
