This is a good reminder that buildings and infrastructures in Thailand not able to handle earthquakes and after-shocks.
Good thinking.. I was thinking about this as well…
Would our pre-fab buildings in SG able to stand earthquake shocks and aftershocks?

usually fire hydrants are on the road side, not in the construction site.
In a couple of days, there will be report on how many are dead. sad.

They took out a chunk of the low level shophouses, probably to make space for a driveway leading to the condo. You can see the changes on Google Maps street viiew.

This is a good video of the collapsing building. Listen to the melodious cries and screams in the background.
The building fell neatly vertically down, not unlike an explosive-triggered demolition.
I'm sure some CNA/SPH pretend-journalists will steal this content if they haven't found it already.

95% of the buildings in NZ meet an earthquake compliance code. Houses are made of a timber structure which flexes when the ground rumbles. Some roof tiles may fall and facades dislodged but the vast majority of houses will remain upright after a severe earthquake.
Same applies to the high rise buildings they are built on floating foundations to absorb the energy of an earthquake.
On the other hand places like Singapore, Bangkok, HCM aren't supposed to have earthquakes as they are not on or near a fault line. However nature does not follow the rules set by humans. She does things her own way.
