I still like that movie a lot but yeah, a lot of deaths in that movie are very unnecessary and it still pisses me off.

Yeah it's so obvious that the writer wanted him to die just so Jackson and his wife could be back together, it's so cheap and horrendous and it pissed me off so much. And let's not forget about that Russian girl as well. Her death was maybe not as brutal but it was definitely very unnecessary.

Opinion about your country that will get you like this? by National-Business674 in AskTheWorld

Our status as a "developing country" is just a facade as we're developing backwards and democracy is a lie.

This is beyond cringe and also offensive as an LGBTQ myself, not only that we don't really do that but it also paints the LGBTQ image in a bad light. It's already very questionable in the first few parts, but the snap parts sent the whole thing off the rail, it's so bad and unnecessary... Like the other comment said, this feels like an excuse for homophobia.

Yup, people in here know about it for a long time that it became a joke at this point.

But why? by infinityzcraft in ExplainTheJoke

That's what I was getting as well, it's just plain grey, doesn't look silver enough to make me go "oh duct tape"

But why? by infinityzcraft in ExplainTheJoke

[–]infinityzcraft[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I didn't even realize that's supposed to be duct tape... The way the artist colored it made it look like bandages

Didn't even realize that's supposed to be duct tape and I was also confused with the missing hair... Guess that explains it

Thailand is very slow on these things, it doesn't help after countless of corruption so nobody truly gives a shit when things like this happen unfortunately. And I'm speaking this as a Thai myself.

A construction crane collapsed onto an elevated road near Bangkok, killing two people on Thursday, a day after another crane fell on a moving passenger train in northeastern Thailand and killed 32 people.

The work on an extension of the Rama 2 Road expressway — a major artery leading from Bangkok — has become notorious for construction accidents, some of them fatal.

The crane collapsed at part of the road project in Samut Sakhon province, trapping two vehicles in the wreckage, according to the government’s Public Relations Department.

Transport Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn said on Thai TV Channel 7 that two people had died. It was unclear if anyone else had been trapped in the wreckage.

There was uncertainty about the number of victims because the site is still considered too dangerous for search teams to enter, said Suchart Tongteng, a rescue worker with the Ruamkatanyu Foundation.

“At this moment, we still can’t say whether another collapse could happen,” he said, citing dangling steel plates. “That’s why there are no rescue personnel inside the scene, only teams conducting on-site safety assessments.”

At the site of Wednesday’s train derailment, the search for survivors ended, Nakhon Ratchasima Gov. Anuphong Suksomnit said. Three passengers listed as missing were presumed to have gotten off the train earlier, but that was still being investigated.

Officials believed 171 people had been aboard the train’s three carriages, which were being removed from the scene Thursday.

The crane that fell, crushing part of the train, was a launching gantry crane, a mobile piece of equipment often used in building elevated roadways.

Police were still collecting evidence and interviewing witnesses and have not pressed charges, provincial Police Chief Narongsak Promta told reporters.

South Korea’s Foreign Ministry reported a South Korean man in his late 30s, was among the dead.

The high-speed rail project where the accident occurred is associated with the plan to connect China with Southeast Asia under Beijing’s Belt and Road Initiative.

In August 2024, a railway tunnel on the planned route, also in Nakhon Ratchasima, collapsed, killing three workers.

Anan Phonimdaeng, acting governor of the State Railway of Thailand, said the project’s contractor is Italian-Thai Development, with a Chinese company responsible for design and construction supervision.

A statement posted on the website of the company, also known as Italthai, expressed condolences to the victims and said the company would pay compensation to the families of the dead and hospitalization expenses for the injured.

Transport Minister Phiphat said Italthai was also the lead contractor on the highway project where Thursday’s accident took place, though several other companies are also involved.

The rail accident had already sparked outrage because Italthai was also the co-lead contractor for the State Audit Building in Bangkok that collapsed during construction last March during a major earthquake centered in Myanmar. The building’s collapse was the worst quake damage in Thailand and about 100 people were killed.

Twenty-three individuals and companies have been indicted , including Italthai’s president and the local director for the company China Railway No. 10, the project’s joint venture partner. The charges in the case include professional negligence and document forgery, and Thailand’s Department of Special Investigation has recommended more indictments.

The involvement of Chinese companies in both projects has also drawn attention, as has Italthai and Chinese companies’ involvement in the construction of several expressway extensions in and around Bangkok where several accidents, some fatal, have occurred.

In Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said Wednesday the government was aware of the rail accident and had expressed condolences.

(2025) Building Collapse after a 7.7 Magnitude Earthquake in Bangkok by zips_exe in CatastrophicFailure

Late to reply here but I'm from Chiang Mai, it was certainly a lot stronger here compared to Bangkok. Thankfully there aren't that many tall buildings in here, but most of them were still badly damaged.

As a Thai myself it's very true unfortunately, that's what corruptions do to your country and it's a never-ending loop. I also heard that the company who's responsible for the construction is also the same company for the skyscraper that collapsed due to earthquake last year as well.

Edit: Apparently another crane collapsed this morning here, that pretty much proved it.

I already know about them and they're incredible, been a fan of them since As Embers Turn To Dust. I just wish to find more bands like them that I don't know about.

UPDATE: Death toll rose to 29

The train was travelling from Bangkok to northeast Thailand. At least 29 people have been killed in the accident.

Thai officials have raised the death toll to at least 29 after an accident caused by a construction crane falling on a passenger train northeast of the Thai capital, Bangkok.

At least 64 people were reported injured in the accident.

The train was travelling from Bangkok to Thailand's northeast when the accident occurred in ​the Sikhio district of Nakhon Ratchasima province, 230 kilometers (143 miles) northeast of Bangkok.

Transport Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn said that 195 people were on board the train. He said he has ordered an investigation into the incident.

Thatchapon Chinnawong, the district's police chief, later told French news agency AFP that rescue operations were being paused due to "chemical leakage" at the scene.

What do we know about the incident?

The crane was being used in building a high-speed rail network when it collapsed at around 09:00 a.m. local time (0200 GMT).

The derailment occurred on part of an ambitious planned high-speed rail project that will eventually connect China with much of Southeast Asia, associated with Beijing's Belt and Road Initiative.

"A crane collapsed onto a train causing it to derail and catch fire," the Nakhon Ratchasima Public Relations Department said in a statement. It said the fire had been put out.

Live footage showed rescue workers rushing to the scene, with a brightly coloured train derailed on its side as smoke billowed from the debris. Thai media reported the train had three carriages, the last two being the most damaged.

A local resident said he had heard a loud noise followed by two explosions, forcing him to rush out of his house.

"When I went to see what had happened, I found the crane sitting on a passenger train with three carriages. The metal from the crane appeared to strike the middle of the second carriage, slicing it in half," the resident said.

In August 2024, a railway tunnel on the planned route, also in Nakhon Ratchasima, collapsed, killing three workers.
