Popular Post siampolee Posted November 19, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2014 My sympathy lies with the passing motor cyclist. Minding his own business and a falling body drops on him. Hell of a cure for the constipation he never knew he had till that moment in time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxLee Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 So, when I came back from work and wanted to make a U-turn near the Bearing BTS station, the roads were all jammed for several minutes. So that explains the yesterday evening's traffic jam at Bearing, doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well when people ask a really dumb question it does deserve a dumb answer. Justifiying fighting with your own sibling on a building site in downtown bangkok to a level where your brother falls off the building, becsuse, "you know it happens everywhere", is fairly dumb. When was the last time u had a fist fight with your brother? On a building site? Causing him to plunge to his death? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greer Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 The posts that appear to claim that fights with siblings only happen in Thailand are pure drivel. Following up and trying to justify it simply strengthens the argument that posting things with such a narrow point of view is simply an attack on the country and nothing to do with fact. Fights between siblings do happen elsewhere, and in some cases do result in accidents, and there is nothing special about Thailand that makes it more likely to happen here, nor is there anything special about other countries to prevent such accidents being fatal - get a grip. My condolences to his family and friends. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joepattaya1961 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Good that his loving brother fled the scene.....big brother falls and dies...so do a runner!.......Some of 'em are gutless pieces of s!!! Indeed. All I can surmise from this, what with him running, is that he didn't 'accidentally' fall... brother probably pushed/punched him off! The point is, that the brother PROBABLY made a runner, because he would end up in custody for a few days......accident or no accident. In Thailand he'd be guilty until proven not guilty; different from most other countries. Since the brother would not be able to afford legal-assistance he would stay in prison for quite some time. Of course, making a runner wasn't very smart......they'll catch him sooner or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glasswort Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I am only guessing of course but if the construction is being undertaken by a Thai company, as opposed to an international outfit, there is probably a lack of safety precautions in place which could have prevented the fall.

mgjackson69 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 It is just semantics perhaps, but I see three possibilities:a ) he fell (accident/<deleted>)b ) he jumped (suicide)c ) he was pushed (homicide) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
