I used to work on radio towers in my youth, 1500 footers, but we always used to say you are just as dead from 100 ft as from 1000 so it doesn't really matter that it was the tallest building around. The lack of precautions during high work was one the first things that struck me when I first came here. It just seems to be a cultural thing, safety is not a high priority throughout the whole society. " up to them".

The cultural thing is called: Mai pen rai.

It was a holiday today. They just did not think to much as their supervisors might have not been there to tell them to wear safety gear. For them it was just another day out with even more fun while nobody was around due to the holiday. They made their choices and at the end it didn't work out. R.I.P. guys!
