Thai Woman Drops To Her Death In Lift Plunge

[davejones]

It doesn't only happen in Thailand. People get killed in lifts the world over, including USA and UK. Here's just one example - http://www.dailymail...nge-woman.html. You can find plenty more yourselves. If the company were negligent they should be punished, but this is nothing to do with Thailand in general. If it was there would be a lot more of these incidents, which there aren't. Some of you need to get over your constant anti-Thailand rants.

So...let me get this straight: you are basically saying that the safety- regulations in the US or UK are as abysmal as the safety regulations - or better:the enforcement- in Thailand?

I guess, that also goes for safety- belts in cars, helmets on motorbikes, car- safety in general, blocked or locked fire- exits in nightclubs or hotels or thelistisendless?!

IMHO the fact that not more accidents of this kind happen in Thailand is a) pure luck b ) due to the fact, that maybe you can not read Thai eg Thai-language newspapers or c) pure luck!

When things like this happen in the US or UK (or France or Germany) they are a) accidents b ) followed up by an investigation and c) a fine, for the entity who is responsible...plus there are controls, that can and mostly will not be gettin' over with by a littl epresent of...let's say...300 Baht for the person controlling.

I could give you plenty of examples of negligent companies in the UK, cases where people were killed but the company wasn't prosecuted. No 300 baht to pay, just friends in high places. You obviously don't see some of the things that go on in the UK. Many incidents don't get hardly any coverage either.
