Design Flaw, Forgery Allegations Surface in Deadly SAO Building Collapse
Rescuers search for victims at the site of a high-rise building under construction that collapsed after a strong earthquake in Bangkok, Thailand, early Saturday, March 29, 2025. (AP Photo/Wason Wanichakorn) BANGKOK - In a startling revelation, the SAO building collapse on March 28 may have been caused by a design blunder in the elevator shaft. A fact-finding committee has suggested that the tremors from Myanmar’s earthquake might have triggered the mishap due to compromised structural integrity, Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul disclosed. This building failure, he added, has raised concerns about unauthorised changes to the original building plans. Charnvirakul revealed his discomfort over reports of a potential signature forgery. It's suspected that a structural engineer’s signature was falsified on a document by a contractor responsible for certifying the altered elevator shaft design. The minister equated this unethical act to forging a medical certificate, highlighting the severity of the breach. The altered design reportedly reduced the thickness of the elevator walls from 30cm to a scant 25cm. Charnvirakul announced plans to meet with the director-general of the Department of Public Works, Town and Country Planning to discuss ethical violations within construction protocols. Such modifications might have contributed significantly to the building’s collapse. Meanwhile, the rescue teams have reduced the mound of debris to about 14 metres in height as they continue the grim search for more victims. Hopes diminish with each passing day, with remaining survivors believed to be scarce under the rubble. Currently, the confirmed death toll from the tragedy has reached 44, with nine injured survivors and 50 still unaccounted for. This somber incident underlines the critical need for stringent adherence to construction standards, ensuring that such catastrophic failures do not repeat.
