A high-rise under construction in Bangkok collapsed due to strong tremors, trapping over 80 workers under the rubble. The incident occurred following seismic activity that shook parts of Thailand and Myanmar. Emergency responders are racing against time to rescue those still buried beneath the debris.
Eyewitnesses reported hearing loud cracks before the structure gave way, sending dust and debris into the air. Officials believe structural weaknesses may have contributed to the collapse, though investigations are ongoing. The affected site has been cordoned off for safety.
Rescue teams, assisted by heavy machinery and sniffer dogs, are carefully removing debris to locate survivors. The injured have been rushed to nearby hospitals, while families of trapped workers anxiously await updates. Authorities have urged people to avoid the area to allow for smooth rescue operations.
The Thai government has declared the site a disaster zone and pledged full support for rescue efforts. Engineers are now assessing surrounding buildings to prevent further incidents. Safety inspections at other construction sites are expected to intensify following this tragic collapse.
