A deadly collapse of the State Audit Office (SAO) building during construction in Chatuchak, Bangkok, has left dozens trapped and three confirmed dead after an earthquake struck the city.
The devastating incident, which occurred during the building’s construction, has sparked widespread concern. According to Suriyachai Rawiwan, Director of the Bangkok Fire and Rescue Department, the collapse of the building was due to an unstable structure.
“The building collapsed storey by storey as a result of the 8.2 magnitude earthquake centred in Myanmar. Robots and drones have been deployed to assist in the search for survivors.”
