Three injured as ceiling collapses at Central Pinklao mall

 

Three people were slightly injured when a section of ceiling on the fifth floor of Central Pinklao mall in Bangkok fell on them on Wednesday afternoon, police said.

 

The ceiling collapse took place at around 3pm and also damaged a car that a private company had on display at the mall, said Pol Lt Colonel Supasak Poreeyanont from Bang Yee Khan Police Station.

 

Two of the injured received first aid at the mall and the third was taken to a nearby hospital by relatives.

Probably a bomb and a police strategy ...

Lucky the Grey car has a duster in the boot. You never know when things might come in handy.

Looks like the garage parking not inside the mall.

It may look like but it isn't. They often have cars on display in Central Malls. Even Tesco lotus and Big C have pickups on show to tempt us. Does anyone know if this is part of the section that they have been renovating over the last year or so?

It's the "false" ceiling, the decorative tiles that  conceal the ductwork etc. Usually foam or plastic tiles held up by a wire framing, Nothing too serious.

If there was a leak in the roof somewhere coupled with heavy rain these type of ceilings pick up weight.
