it's not just water overflowing
there's one video taken from afar showing what seems like a person who fell together with the water
in another video, the pedestrians walking below the building got washed away
share video

has the main con follow the drawings to last mm and last details ? if so, not the main con responsibility.
this is structural engineer job

has this building and all existing Bangkok buildings design incorporate any earthquake factor ?
if not, i pray for BKK..

I recall back when tremors from Sumatra earthquakes became more prevalent in Singapore, govt confirmed that buildings can tolerate a certain threshold, but not earthquakes.
