Report Bangkok Building Collapse Blamed on Design Flaws, Says PM
The article states "highlighting that the disaster was not due to material quality." I am not criticising your opinion contradicting that, but would be grateful to know what information or test results you have to know whether the materials were ok or not? So this Pol Maj Gen understood the specifications and had the results? Or was stating an opinion on steel reinforcing rumours without the facts. How do you know. I personally think the fault was in design or not being constructed in accordance with requirements, or a combination of both. One of the videos shows clearly that the "concrete" in the bottom columns failed in shear well above the base which indicates something that should not be expected due to substandard reinforcing. IMHO, the reinforcing should have failed not the concrete and thats not what I see on the video. I am a chartered civil engineer and have done enough designs to seismic codes to have an opinion. I also know that steel reinforcing from the same contractor JV used on a high speed rail contract was sampled and tested independently within a number of days and found to meet standards. The concrete would have been from a Thai ready mix plant and records are all well documented as in any western country. So it would take a lot of effort to falsify them. I do not see any reason for the authorities to lie about the standard of materials, as being implied by some people. This may be Thailand, but testing records after the incident would have to be falsified, and i do not see people taking that risk when this is such a prominent case. This has yet to go to court for trials of the individuals and we may (or may not ) find out more then. -

Trump says DOGE 'monster' may have to 'eat Elon' as Musk threatens tax bill supporters
That's good news. I think President Trump is beginning to realize that these tech m*th*rf*ck*rs hold working class and middle class Americans in contempt. Time to boot them out!!! Sending Elon back to South Africa sounds good to me.
