Thanks. I missed the excitement, but heard about it and saw all kinds of crazy videos. They shut down the metro for safety reasons, and traffic was just standing. A aquaintance had to walk about 5+ miles home in her work clothes (skirt, heels, etc.). She said that she had to go into a store and buy a cheap pair of gym shoes because she never could have walked all the way in her regular work shoes. LOL
Fortunately, BKK had a similar earthquake about 20 years ago, so the building instructions were made much more strict after that, so most of the buildings are now in pretty good shape.
Link to videoThe building under construction that collapsed, killing a bunch of workers was being built by a Chinese company (LOL). Kind of a scandal as a newspaper filmed some of the project managers taking boxes of files out from the project office through a back fence and driving away with them!
