we got absolutely rocked today here in bangkok.
apparently there are 81 people “trapped” in the rubble of the collapsed building. i hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that building is currently a pile of crumbled concrete, glass, and twisted rebar. i would be absolutely shocked if any survivors are pulled from there.
my condo unit here is a new build, luxury unit, from one of the most reputable developers and it got fucking rattled today. it was like a movie, walls cracking, building swaying, alarms blaring, while i’m running around trying to figure what the hell was going on. every wall in the unit has cracks running thru it. it seemed as if the whole thing might come down during the most intense part of the quake.
the whole city shut down after it happened. but seems like everyone is safe outside of the construction workers that were in the collapsed building.
what i’m not looking forward to is the reports to come from myanmar, where i’m sure casualties are much higher, damage is more widespread, and information will be slow to get out.
