In a shocking turn of events, Thailand has witnessed two devastating crane collapses within a mere 24-hour period, leaving a trail of tragedy and raising urgent questions about construction safety.
The Second Collapse:
BBC Verify has obtained and verified footage of the second deadly crane incident in Thailand, which occurred just a day after the first. The video, captured by dashcams in two vehicles, shows a bridge under construction in the Samut Sakhon suburb of Bangkok suddenly giving way, causing a crane to plummet onto a busy road. This heart-wrenching incident claimed the lives of two individuals.
The timestamp on one of the videos reveals the precise moment of the collapse: 09:11 local time (02:11 GMT). The footage is a chilling snapshot of the disaster, showing the crane's fall and a lorry's abrupt stop. Additional footage from the same lorry, just a few vehicles away from the impact, provides an even more harrowing perspective.
