webfact Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 by TNR Staff A NATURE field trip by fifth graders and their teachers in Nakhon Si Thammarat province turned into a disaster after the bridge they were all crossing suddenly collapsed under their weight plunging them all into the pool of water below injuring six of them, Matichon said yesterday (August 19). At 2 p.m. the National Institution of Emergency Medicine had initially been alerted that 50 students and teachers had been injured in this accident at Suan Karaket village in Karaket subdistrict, Chian Yai district, and a high-level emergency operation unit quickly went there as did medical teams from Chian Yai, Chaloem Phrakiat and Hua Sai hospitals.

Stargeezr Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Yes, this bridge looks like it was only rated for about 20 people max. Smart teachers to let the entire class get on the bridge at one. Amazing Thailand. Great construction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
