Landslide Buries Workers Inside High-Speed Rail Tunnel Construction in Nakhon Ratchasima
This is my personal opinion on this rescue (this is not the view of the AN news team, but my own). The incident occurred after the roof collapsed, I have seen no details of the geological problem which caused this. It does appear that the workers were possibly in an area of unsupported ground, which is normally a no go zone, as before collapsing this type of roof should have shown some bowing or sagging, which should have been noticed on daily safety and geo tech inspections or by work teams. Questions on safety standards that can be asked are, no self rescue devices on workers, no emergency refuge chamber given the distance of travel, lack of helmet lamps, workers in short sleeves and no tag board system, as they did not even know the name of the Myanmar worker.. it is unclear if the site had emergency plans in place and what liaison had taken place between other agencies, or if any drills or training had taken place. Once the workers became trapped, there were 2 options, vertical or horizontal rescue. Given the unstable ground conditions and possible lack of suitable equipment, vertical access looked a non-starter. it is strange that no communications equipment, radios, were in place, to establish initial contact with the missing workers. Also there is no evidence that the construction company had access to a horizontal drill rig, which could have initially drilled small exploratory holes to help located and contact the missing workers. The USAR teams are well equipped, with life detection radar, endoscope cameras and seismic sound devices. The problem is gaining access through a very unstable earth pile, which continued to collapse. Concrete was injected in the collapsed area to try to help stabilise the rubble and the first plan, which failed, was the small circular pipe. The use of a construction of an old style mining access tunnel seemed the next logical and safe step, and clearance of the earth fall was never going to be achieved. Incident command has been a problem, as there seems no structure in place with too many agencies wanting be involved at the response level. Those agencies need to work together in the crisis command, supporting, not running the incident response, and provide the logistical support and deal with family and media requirements. Too many unrealistic promises have been made, setting rescue timings, which are always doomed to fail. The good sign is that the first worker is found and alive, so hope remains for the other two. -

Vaping
However, some of the information you mentioned may be a bit exaggerated. For example, while it's true that vaping isn't without risks, it's not accurate to say one vape contains as much nicotine as six packs of cigarettes. The nicotine content varies depending on the device and liquid used, and many people choose lower-nicotine options to help them gradually reduce their intake. Vaping can be harmful, especially for young people who shouldn't be using it, but it can also be a useful tool for adults trying to quit smoking. I've been vaping for about two years now, and it helped me quit regular cigarettes. I used to smoke a pack a day, but vaping made the transition easier for me, and now I vape only occasionally. To avoid any risks, I always buy from verified sites to ensure I'm getting quality products. If you're concerned about the accessibility of vaping products for kids, you might want to look into options like same day vape delivery in London, which often requires age verification to make a purchase. -

Another Landslide in Phuket! Nine Houses Buried, Residents Flee in Panic
Same any where in Thailand, destroy the fauna and floods will surely come. No matter how many drains are fitted, bad planning for the past 25 years. Thailand should of concentrated on it's natural beauty and attracted the millionaires, rather than destroying everything and attracting tin pot cheap Charlies..too late, the damage is done -

Amorn Tukcom Basement R.I.P
Really ? can't say I noticed them are you counting the floor at street level as the first floor ? or is it Basement, Ground, first,second etc for me I'd call the "ground" floor first floor and the second floor is where all the mobile phone shops are third floor has printer shops as well as Power Buy which is looking to go the same way as Amorn IMHO, fourth floor has Mr D.I.Y and the games/DVD shops fifth floor now closed had another big name computer shop occupying the whole floor the name of which evades me at the moment. This sign amused me a bit can't remember which floor it was either old age is setting in.- 1

12% is a small tax increase? The Trump tax cuts benefited most every taxpayer. We already have healthcare for the poor, she has called for the elimination of private insurance. It's a fact. It was news, but it was quashed. She was talking about price controls on food and rent. The government drives up the price of everything it touches. -

Last Will and Testament
I have used this, but changed the English one into Plain English instead of the way it is, repeating things over and over. Then I translated via Word, into Thai, got my Mrs to read it and she said all was understandable. Signed and witnessed by my Englis bro & wife on both languages. I shall never know if it is completely legal, but my Mrs will find out ! -

Any foolproof way of stopping Truemove credit disappearing literally seconds after adding !
I had exactly this issue a few months back. I initiated a support chat through the app and they said there was something I had subscribed to that was eating credit. They told me I must have clicked on something which of course I hadn't (apparently "foreigners" do this a lot). Anyway, whatever it was they unsubscribed me from it and the problem has not recurred so far.
