Five killed as three-storey house collapses in Bangkok

A burnt-out three-storey house collapsed on the outskirts of the Thai capital Bangkok on Saturday, killing at least five people, AzVision.az reports citing Reuters. 

The building caught fire on Saturday morning and was put out about an hour later, media reports said. The cause of the fire was unknown.

“I heard the sound of something breaking and the whole building came down within split seconds,” one firefighter who filmed and posted the video on his Facebook account told Reuters.

“The rescue team were told to leave the building because the structure looked weak,” he added.

At least five people were killed, including one resident and four rescue workers, media said.

The search for survivors was called off in the evening.
