In a remarkable turn of events that has the entire internet abuzz, a dashboard camera has captured a startling act of aerial misconduct—an individual throwing a rock from an unfinished bridge at unsuspecting vehicles below on the notorious Rama II Road, in the ever-bustling city of Bangkok. It seems, yet again, Rama II has found itself in the limelight, not for its promising roadworks, but for a peculiar and risky situation.
The footage, uploaded to the widely followed Drama-addict Facebook page, which boasts a staggering 3.4 million followers, shows a figure mysteriously appearing on the scene. The alleged stonethrower, supposed to be a construction worker by some sources, is vehemently disowned by the contractor in charge. Ah, the plot thickens!
This unexpected drama unfolded when a vigilant driver journeying to Bangmod Hospital, post Central Rama II, noticed the unexpected rock bombardment. Just 10 seconds in, a loud thud resonates as a rock makes impact with their car’s windshield—talk about an unexpected stone-cold surprise! Some speculate the projectile came from construction site debris, hurled with unceremonious fate from the unfinished height.
The driver’s son, an eyewitness of the curious affair, immediately drew attention to the silhouetted figure spotted on the high-rise infrastructure. His candid suggestion, that the figure was a construction worker, has since been denied with urgency. The contractor, quick to absolve themselves, scoured surveillance tapes from March 21, fortifying their stance that no authorized personnel were present. In fact, an unwelcome visitor had managed to infiltrate the site.
Eager to dodge further rounds of notoriety rocks, the contractor promises tighter security measures to thwart repeat incidents and deter the wandering daredevils from striking once more. The event echoes a series of tragic occurrences that haunt Rama II. Only last week, a collapse of Pandora-box proportions saw six souls lost and 20 gravely injured when a concrete beam plummeted from an under-construction expressway. In somber memory, the weight of preventable mishaps still carries through the air.
Attempting to breathe relief into Bangkok’s travel veins, the Rama III-Dao Khanong-Outer Bangkok Ring Road elevated expressway promises to unburden traffic congestion. However, it seems these intentions are cursed with roadwork delays and hours-long jams, turning highways into home-bound imprisonment, especially during celebratory weekends and vacations.
Ah, Rama II—a road that narrates tales of ancient tragedy and modern inconvenience in equal measure. Since 2018, carelessness and inadvertence have combined to orchestrate an astonishing symphony of 2,500 accidents over a mere 84 kilometers. Its dire overture has accounted for 144 lives and left 1,440 wounded in its wake, akin to a chapter out of Homeric turmoil.
As Bangkokians and wanderers pass under the shadow of this mysterious act on the modern colossus, one can only wonder: will the challenges of Rama II continue to provoke such dramatic tales, or can the ancient city redirect its narrative towards safety and serenity on the open road? Only time—and perhaps some enhanced security measures—will tell.
This is absolutely insane! Why would anyone throw rocks at cars? That person should be thrown in jail!
I don’t understand either, but maybe it’s just someone messing around not realizing the danger.
Messing around?! It’s attempted murder if you ask me. People need to be more serious about this stuff.
Rama II is cursed or what? There’s way too much happening on this road. How can construction sites not have foolproof security?
It seems like a string of bad management. How can they expect safety if they can’t even secure an active site?
I pass through there every day, and knowing this makes me want to avoid the area entirely.
People need better things to do than throw rocks from bridges. Maybe better community engagement is needed?
I think that’s true, but you also can’t fix stupidity with community programs alone.
The safety track record of Rama II makes it sound like a death trap. Why isn’t more being done?
Probably because fixing chronic issues isn’t as profitable as constant repairs. Sad reality.
And people keep saying it was a construction worker. Doesn’t the contractor have a duty to verify? I find that suspicious.
They would have immediately checked that, I believe. The quicker they deny, the more it looks like they’re hiding something.
Exactly. Accountability is key, but it seems lacking here.
I wear a helmet in my car when on Rama II. Another incident just confirms my paranoia.
This reminds me of the old days when Rama II was known for terrible traffic jams. Has anything truly changed?
Traffic jams? That’s the least of your worries when there’s literal rock throwing!
We need drones or cameras monitoring these construction sites 24/7 to avoid tragic idiocy.
That sounds expensive but maybe necessary given the constant issues.
Will be interesting to see if they actually keep their security promises this time or if it’s all hot air?
They really need to revisit those numbers. 2,500 accidents since 2018 and that’s just okay to them?
It’s almost like they’ve accepted it as the norm, and that’s disturbing.
Just another day on Rama II! Who’s surprised really?
Your indifference is worrying, though it does seem that many have given up caring.
Regarding the rock throwing, it may just be another symbol of societal frustration manifesting in dangerous ways.
Living here, I feel terrified! What will they do next? Falling beams, rock throwing—sounds like a video game.
Unfortunately life doesn’t have a reset button. We need to make sure authorities are more accountable for our safety.
Seems to me there’s always an excuse and never enough action. Waiting for the next incident…
The grievances of Rama II read like an endless saga of unfortunate events. When will it be enough for change?
