So a crane collapses onto a moving train and kills at least 32 people.

So far, I've not seen any comments from Thais that question the wisdom of running a construction site directly above an operating rail service.
In developed countries, construction above working roads or railways seems to be more tightly controlled. I gather they installed a high speed railway bridge over the M6 motorway in the UK recently, but that was a finished bridge section just being rolled into position with minimal risk.

Quite different to a regular third world construction site directly above a railway.

And the day after, yet another crane collapses onto a road, killing 2.

Also, they took the elementary precaution of closing the road while they did it.

I'm referring to the HS2 bridges near Birmingham. Whilst they closed the M6 for the first one, I understand they kept it open for the second. But failure of that was virtually impossible.
