An earthquake that struck Myanmar led to a building collapse in Bangkok, resulting in at least 15 fatalities and dozens of individuals missing. Recovery efforts are ongoing, and investigations into the incident have raised serious concerns regarding construction practices. Key attention is on China Railway 10th Engineering Group, a state-owned Chinese company involved in the project, accused of employing inadequate materials and substandard safety measures. Test results found compromised materials contributing to the structure's failure, further complicating the aftermath of the disaster.
Recovery efforts continue with at least 15 people killed and dozens still missing. Determining the cause could take months. But interviews with workers who had been on the site highlight potential problems with construction design and quality.
At the center of the scrutiny is China Railway 10th Engineering Group, a Chinese state-owned company with a long list of projects in Thailand, and its contractors have drawn accusations of trying to remove documents from the site after the disaster.
