A 29-year-old homeowner in Khon Kaen narrowly escaped death when a crane, lifting a prefabricated 'knockdown house,' lost balance and crashed the structure onto his home.
The incident occurred as the crane hoisted the heavy house over 10 meters and high-voltage power lines, ultimately toppling due to the excessive weight.
Trapped amidst the debris, Narin Chinbut was rescued by construction supervisors; he expressed immense luck, having avoided his usual spot where the house fell.
The entire dramatic collapse was captured on video, and the crane company has reportedly engaged its insurance for damage assessment and compensation.

Yesterday 15:20 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul initiated a nationwide crackdown on illegal Thai nominee shareholders in foreign-run businesses and land holdings to safeguard national interests.
The government will integrate efforts across all relevant agencies to target illicit foreign operations, forced sales of illegally acquired property, and high-risk land ownership schemes.
Key strategies include auditing suspect land and building holdings, establishing a long-term monitoring system, and cross-referencing data from various authorities to trace ultimate beneficial owners.
Prime Minister Anutin emphasized that no influential figures or corrupt officials are above the law, promising straightforward prosecution, asset seizures, and protection for enforcing officers.
Beyond land ownership, the integrated crackdown will also extend to tackle transnational crimes, including drug and human trafficking.
