Following the collapse of the recently constructed State Audit Office ( SAO ), the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration ( BMA ) has reported that the search and recovery efforts for the last 13 missing persons have progressed.
The BMA’s Hazard Protection and Mitigation Department’s Director, Suriyachai Rawiwan, announced on Monday that rescue teams have now been granted access to the entire 40×40 meter basement.
Over 200 pieces of mortal remains had been sent to the Police General Hospital’s Institute of Forensic Medicine for DNA analysis as of Monday, according to Mr. Suriyachai.
He noted that Zone B, where dust equivalent to a three-storey construction is still being removed, is primarily where the remaining particles is located.
According to Mr. Suriyachai, this area, which was connected to the car park and contained damaged material pillars, requires careful maintenance to avoid further decline. In B2 and B3, destruction is continued, with the goal of clearing the entire page in two to three days.
Thaiwut Khankaew, the director of BMA’s City Planning and Development, claimed that the majority of bodies were discovered close to the fire escape, which was thought to be the city’s last haven during the decline.
He added that all regions are being searched, and that the procedure is anticipated to last another four to five days.
He claims that the 30-storey creating structure’s richness and his lack of prior knowledge in handling a collapse of this magnitude, which resulted in nearly 100 deaths, are two of the challenges.
” We have been working with great precaution to try to help any victims and take them out, while also being careful with the body of the bereaved that are trapped, which makes the procedure hard,” Mr. Thaiwut said.
He said that although the procedure has encountered many challenges, more than 70 cranes and miners have been deployed, and cooperation meetings are held thrice daily.
On Tuesday, out of the full of 109 affected, 87 people were confirmed dead, nine were injured, and 13 are also missing.
The Police General Hospital’s forensic analysis will determine the final recognition to ensure that the facts are consistent with official documents.
