Popular Post Bangkok Barry Posted January 5 Popular Post Share Posted January 5 (edited) More half-baked reporting from The Thaiger as the top-notch reporter forgets to tell us how it happened, how a woman can fall down a lift shaft. Was the door faulty? Was the lift being installed and there was no door? Was it under maintenance and Safety First engineers forget to post warning signs and put up barriers? Did he enquire? Did he ask questions? Did he try to find out how such a thing could occur? Edited January 5 by Bangkok Barry 4 2 5 7 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was stuck IN the lift at the 58th floor, it went there without her selecting it. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a totally different story, something that The Thaiger likes to tag on to the end of a report if it is remotely connected to the main story. A unique thing to do in my experience, and one that can lead to (your) confusion. Read it again and you'll see In related news...

Popular Post brianthainess Posted January 5 Popular Post Share Posted January 5 So she didn't "Fall down a lift shaft" at all Yet another Misleading headline, as the one about an Australian airhostess and Heroin, it had nothing to do with any airhostess at all, it was a Thai student going to Oz, Sack all of these stupid 'reporters' who come up with headlines. Sharks and Eels the lot of them, don't even get me on the monorail rubbish. 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was trapped in the lift which stopped at the 58th floor despite her efforts to halt its progress. I presume the doors wouldn't open hence the emergency services were called.

She didn't actually fall down the lift shaft, she was trapped in the lift which stopped at the 58th floor according to the article, (another contributor to this forum says the building is only 18 floors high). The idiot who wrote this article and created the headline is a moron. I think it is the same 'reporter' who called deep drainage trenches 'sinkholes' when there were 3 separate incidents of the covers breaking and vehicles falling into the same exposed drain (as it crossed under different roads) and failed to link them Edited January 5 by RobU 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geisha Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 The woman actually fell down the lift shaft . What the article doesn’t say, is why, how it happened , which floor was the lift on, and from what floor she fell. Details matter. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idiot who wrote this article and created the headline is completely off his trolly. The journalist - and I use the term loosely - combined two stories into one article. The woman trapped in the lift was not the same one who fell. Different woman, different location, different time, different social media user. The lead article says A Facebook user named NAKON45, also known as Anyawut Po-ampai In related news, a TikTok video shared by user @dreamiiqueen has gone viral, depicting a terrifying ordeal of being trapped alone in a lift that continuously ascends and descends. The only 'relation' to the headline story is that it involved a woman and a lift. I can only assume The Thaiger pays peanuts and gets......

I have no idea how stuff like this can possibly make it onto the page. It's like they have not only no editors, but not even any editorial p o l i c y. It might be interesting to find out how these 'news gatherers' actually function - if you can call it that. Edited January 5 by BusyB 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
