Thailand investigates 30-storey skyscraper that collapsed in earthquake

A week after a devastating 7.7-magnitude earthquake in Myanmar, investigations are still ongoing into a 30-storey building that collapsed in Thailand. The probe seeks to understand why the skyscraper in Bangkok collapsed, since every building in Thailand should be able to tolerate earthquakes. However, with search and rescue operations still ongoing, the investigation committee said the site is still not fully accessible to collect samples from. More than 100 workers were working onsite when the skyscraper crumbled. At least 15 people were killed and more than 70 remain missing.
