Habitual construction malpractice caused the huge gantry crane of a high-speed railway project to fall on an express train in Nakhon Ratchasima in January, according to the Transport Ministry. The accident killed 31 people and injured 71 others.
The conclusion on the cause of the tragedy came from a thorough investigation led by the Engineering Institute of Thailand, Jirapong Theppitak, deputy permanent secretary for transport, said on Tuesday.
