While the sun sets over Bangkok, hundreds of rescue workers desperately seek survivors in the demolished skyscraper on 30 floors on the construction site in the Thailand capital.
Rescuers are trying to reach dozens of workers trapped in ruins after the skyscraper crashed.
Standing on the bridge at a small distance from the place, under the orange splendor of the sky, a group of journalists, including me, looks at the disbelief on three -storey high concrete crowds.
The distorted wire and metal exits.
Although more professional rescue and military teams arrive and reflectors are set up, there are little chance of finding many survivors.
The Magnitude 7.7 shallow earthquake hit the central mjanmar, and a few minutes later he was followed by the tightening of Magnituda 6.4, demolishing buildings and cracking the roads.
Here they felt across the border in Thailand, shocks and destruction. Residents are struggling to respond to a natural disaster that some are used to.
I was home when Shakes started and that was unlike everything I felt before.
The demolished building, which belonged to the National Audit Office, was under construction for three years at the price of more than two billion Thai battas (£ 59 million; £ 45 million) – now reduced to ruins.
The white tents are erected on the perimeter because the rescuers in bright yellow hard hats affect about 81 people who are still trapped under the demolished skyscraper.
Thai Defense Minister Phumtham Wechachai told reporters that three people had been confirmed dead. Previously, I saw two covered bodies be carried to tents.
The road next to the building is full of fire engine, emergency vehicles and other rescue vehicles. Curious civilians joined us on the bridge, looking at trying to understand what’s going on.
Heavy machines, including a large crane, begin to arrive. Rescuers say they need them to remove debris before they can start looking for the missing.
I arrived less than an hour after the collapse to find construction workers covered with dust, stunned by what they had just survived.
Adisorn Kamphasorn dropped the materials from the sixth floor when he suddenly felt trembling. The 18-year-old looked at the staircase and saw the crane shake.
He said to me, “I knew it would be bad. I ran. It took me a minute to collapse. Suddenly there was smoke everywhere and everything became black. I couldn’t breathe. I didn’t have a mask.”
He has not yet talked to his family because he lost his phone in chaos, saying that he had never experienced anything in his life. He thought he would die.
Construction workers tell me they were a mixture of Thai and Burmese.
Nucul Khemutha, 30, worked on the fifth floor when he felt trembling. He looked up and saw all the floors of sinking, the holes formed.
He said that one of his colleagues had just gone on the tenth floor to use the bathroom and still wait for news of his accommodation. He told me, “We were all just screaming ‘running’ and telling each other to hold hands and run together.”
When I talked to them, they were sitting there smoking, trying to calm down. They looked sad. None of the survivors received medical attention, because all the attention was focused on those who were still captured.
As the sound of drilling enhances, rescue workers face a long night in front.
