Thread: Truck topples 47 power poles

what engineering ?

I used to be not able to spell injunear , and now I is one

Damn.

Talented.

Very Thai.

^,

Yeah, there must be something wrong with the engineering when all these poled go down.

Shoulda been safeguards.

I think that driver lost the job, though.

That's very impressive, even by Thai standards.

That is impressive. Saw six go down in a windstorm near the old place in Mae Taeng and they all snapped right at the ground like those in the post. Those poles are tall so a darn good moment arm.

Just when you though that the Thai road traffic accident rate couldn't get any more absurd one of them raises the bar even higher!

I wonder now if it's going to be the next big competition...the most poles/cars ratio.

Aren't they just the cutest little things to observe.

one guy pointing anyway.

Authorities said Mr Suthep would be charged with reckless driving causing property damage and injury.

If he doesn't become a monk, yes.

They can't even dig a fucking hole to the right depth.

They surely have to be the dumbest society on the planet.

it is not just about the hole - poles have feelings too

it happens on the west also - poles not braced at correct spacings and one goes and the whole lot fall

Meanwhile, back to reality in the LoS the explanation for this farce is of course corruption in which the contractors and the budget holder have trousered so much of the dosh there wasn't sufficient left to complete the work properly.

Public works in this country are nothing short of a disgrace which probably accounts for the fact that most urban areas are stinking, dangerous shitholes prone to flooding and collapse.

Aah, the domino effect. Put the cables underground.

^ it is the cost

Simple case of reversing without a spotter. Nothing to see here , move on.

Compared to the accident rate repair bill I'd say it'd pay for itself.

It's the fault of the previous governments,.....

Can Thai electricity run underground?

And now they'll get a second windfall from having to do it again.

Quite intelligent really.

Pocket so much cash that it will have to be redone in the near future. Where you'll be able to pocket some more. Win win.

The only loser is somchai the nobody who gets a concrete pole on his head causing his braincell to fallout through his nose, or plunge into a 3 meter sinkhole and have to reach for his nasal stick to figure out what happened.

I have always tried to respect Thai's, how they do thing's their ability to construct,, but no they are F@#%ing hopeless.

But it happens in Thailand and all the bigoted pundits jump on the Thais are rubbish band wagon.

Still if one is bored here with nothing else to make one's day meaningful...?

The question was is it a record.
Yanks feeling left out how many did he topple oh no surely not second place to Thailand.
Oh well best stick with baseball and American football to be sure of first place.
