Popular Post webfact Posted February 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2020 Bangkok: Electrical cables at road level after power pole nearly snaps in Nonthaburi soi Picture: 77kaoded The sheer weight of a huge number of cables and wires brought a concrete electrical pole almost crashing to the ground in a soi in Nonthaburi, Bangkok, last night. Police and city electrical workers went to Soi Pracharat 26 (Soi Sri Pornsawan) around 9 pm to find wires almost touching the road. Trader Bang-orn, 67, was on hand to point out the devastation. Picture: 77kaoded She said she was boiling her nuts outside a convenience store when she heard a great noise. It was very scary, she said, and she was obliged to move her cart under an awning. While not an electrical expert she was in no doubt that the weight of the cables had caused the collapse. Engineer Wiraphot agreed with her assessment. His men were doing a temporary fix and would start work on something more permanent today and initiate a discussion as to what to do about all those heavy wires.

Popular Post Raven2 Posted February 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2020 I remember the first visit of a A380 to Swampy (promo trip). As it was being towed on the dispersal area a wingtip touched a hangar roof. The subsequent Thai enquiry blamed the hangar. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Tracy Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Now it is known, how many cables does it take to nearly snap a pole. should it not be 'crashing almost to the ground', rather than what is written? To snap is to break suddenly and completely. To nearly snap I guess means it nearly broke nearly suddenly and nearly completely. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
