A 7.7-magnitude earthquake centered in Myanmar caused a devastating collapse of an under-construction 33-storey building in Chatuchak market, Bangkok, leaving 17 dead and dozens injured. The building, part of a project for the State Audit Office, Thailand, was a joint venture between China Railway Number 10 and Italian-Thai Development Plc. Despite being newly constructed, it failed to withstand the quake, unlike most other buildings. An investigation has been launched to determine why the building collapsed, with a seven-day deadline for experts to identify the cause. Meanwhile, four Chinese nationals were arrested for unlawfully removing documents from the site. The collapse, amid an ongoing regional disaster from the earthquake, has raised questions about the building’s integrity.
Pray for the truth to be revealed behind this allegation. Pray for a swift investigation process and for the authorities to work toward ensuring safety and accountability (The Holy Bible, Job 36:6).
Pray for the victims and their families affected by the building collapse in Bangkok. Pray for the LORD’s comfort upon the families of the deceased victims and for healing upon all the injured victims (The Holy Bible, Jeremiah 33:6).
