The United States and Truman were guilty of war crimes by establishing Israel in 1948 when the British left Palestine against the UN Resolution 181

The Brits have a history of leaving minority groups high and dry

I have a really bad feeling about this for both sides.

Protests are escalating around the world. Seems no longer about the Israelis v Palestinians. Both sides appear guilty of  war crimes.

2? Looks like 4 to me,

You are absolutely correct. My guess is 4 pre-cast panels placed on an structural steel support which was not designed to cater not only the lowest common denominator in Thai society but their construction industry in general 😄

This shot clearly shows the concrete didn't collapse but the support.

Seems like it was 2 separate panels on a steel frame. Total engineering fail.

What the Concrete or your argument? 😜

Actually I was referring to the road My argument solid as

Basically, without waffling, it's only as strong as it weakest point 😊

Any comment from Chadchart? Are him and Somchai friends?

'But if the slab had of been on a solid surface there would still be a solid surface in place when slab removed.' How would MEA be able to carry out underground work if a solid surface in the way?

The article clearly states “Concrete Slab” singular if 2 Separate it would have said “SlabS”

But then we are just hypothesising.

 

Doesn't need to be a solid surface to be fit for purpose. Like I said more an engineering fail. As for the slab/slabs for it to fold in that way as a single slab it would indicate a lack of, or complete absence of any reinforcement, again an engineering fail.

So again the point I am making is the concrete didn't fail the application did. Wonder who, if anyone signed off on the works 😊

OK think of this way. Lay a piece of wood between 2 bricks and jump on it. It breaks. Lay that same piece of wood on a solid surface and nothing happens.

Had the slab been supported equally and continuously or sufficiently that would never have happened. More of an engineering fail than the concrete.

Also looking at it but couldn't be sure, it looks like 2 separate slabs. The fold appears to be a joint.

Appears the slab didn't fail the road base (support) did.

Just got over my 3rd case of covid though the cough persists…4 jabs…yeah, “…these vaccines…”

Never caught it. 3 jabs plenty of times had symptoms but tested negative. I even worked on a project for several months where the client was a medical supplier and we had to test daily before entering site.

If you haven't watched it I highly recommend it. It will put that review into context

Along the same theme there is on Netflicks a true story of a murder in an outback Oz in a town of 13 people

 

 

One of them did it, 

 

Real story

 

Worth watching too

I think you'll find that's Last Stop Larramah. I watched it on Netflix just uploaded the Trailer from Yobtube

That pic reminds me of all the dramas once over hijacking threads with pics like the one below. I even think some members left the board

Bit of a theme going there 🙄

I'm sure Ben's not a big fan of him 😋

Last Stop Larrimah

Set in the Australian Outback, in a tiny town with a population of 11 until one is murdered with everyone a suspect.

As one review put it, "The best advertisement for using sunscreen I've ever seen."

Guest friendly? Any mention of joiner fees?

I remember the sign on a door at the pub in Mt Hagan, capital of the Highlands.

Leave your gun here with our staff.

Most of them home made and regularly misfire injuring anyone either holding it or close by. They still get to carry their cane knives though

Never watched the show.

Nothing wrong with high beam.

I remember that story. They obviously didn't declare it on their inbound card..

While I was working in Lae there was an incident where a father ate his infant son in front of anyone who cared to watch in the middle of the marketplace.. Think I still have the story or link somewhere. Oddly the marketplace was where a lot of the crazy stuff happened. Like the unfortunate fella who got court steeling food so the held him down and chopped his arm off with a cane knife.
