A big 33-story building in Bangkok, Thailand, fell down fast during a huge 7.7-magnitude earthquake that hit Myanmar on Friday. The unfinished skyscraper turned into a pile of rubble, kicking up dust everywhere and trapping lots of people underneath. Most of those caught were workers building it. News from AFP says that by Sunday, 17 people were found dead, 32 were hurt, and 83 are still missing. Rescue teams are working hard in super-hot weather, using drones with heat cameras to find 15 people who might still be alive. So far, they’ve pulled out eight bodies.

AustraliaWhat’s weird is that Bangkok has tons of tall buildings being built, but this was the only one that crashed down like that. Now, people are wondering why it wasn’t strong enough. This skyscraper belonged to Thailand’s State Audit Office (SAO) and had been in the works for three years, costing over two billion baht—that’s about 45 million pounds! Thailand’s Deputy Prime Minister, Anutin Charnvirakul, isn’t happy. He told a team of experts to figure out what went wrong in just seven days.
Here’s where it gets interesting: a Chinese company was part of this project. According to the UK’s Telegraph, the skyscraper was built by Italian-Thai Development Plc (ITD) and China Railway Number 10 (Thailand) Ltd together. That Chinese company is a smaller part of a bigger group called China Railway Number 10 Engineering Group Company, and they own 49% of the deal—the most a foreign company can own in Thailand. They’ve been around since 2018, working on stuff like offices, railways, and roads. But they’re not doing great money-wise—they lost 199.66 million baht in 2023, even though they made 206.25 million baht, because their expenses were way higher at 354.95 million baht.

The Thai people who own the other part include Sophon Meechai with 40.80% (he’s in five other companies too), Prachuab Sirikhet with 10.20% (he’s got six companies), and Manas Sri-anant with less than 1% (he’s in ten companies).
The earthquake didn’t just mess up Bangkok. In Myanmar, where it started near Sagaing, over 1,600 people died, and thousands got hurt. Big cities like Mandalay saw buildings fall apart. Myanmar’s leader, Min Aung Hlaing, even asked other countries for help, which he almost never does. They’ve called it an emergency in six areas, and hospitals are packed. Back in Thailand, the shaking made people run out of hospitals and offices. Some videos even showed swimming pools on top of buildings spilling water down the sides!
