I hope nothing happened to their Safety First sign, and it can still be used.

100,000 baht compensations to each of the victims and it's all good...

why worry about safety measures when lives are cheap in Thailand?....

Cruel, but sadly, so appropriate.

Looks like it was  the launching beam that failed during the move to lift the next span, the most risky part of the operation.

 

The guys working on the beam stood no chance

Failure to put dunnage under outriggers and not putting enough stick out then booming in or out under load come to mind here as potential risks,also no load scales so lift till there is no weight on the outrigger.

I remember many years ago here using a 300 tonne crane for a job here,it was ok to use up country but didn't pass the permit to work in Bangkok.
