That's terrible.  Was he so poor and underpaid that he was pushed to the edge to retrieve his lunch? 

 

Too young to die.

The Thais make copies of everything.  I'm booking a helicopter ride as soon as the office opens.

Looking at a video of the place there's a few places that are very poorly fenced off, somewhere you have to be very careful.
