Two dead as Thai crane collapse follows deadly train derailment
A crane collapsed onto an elevated road in Samut Sakhon province near Bangkok, killing two people, just a day after another crane fell onto a moving passenger train in northeastern Thailand, killing 32. Rescue work was hampered by dangerous site conditions. The incidents have raised scrutiny of major road and rail projects and the firms involved, including Italthai (Italian-Thai Development) and partners, with investigators reviewing safety and contractor roles.
