No Time to React: 37-Year-Old Giant Stupa Collapses in Thailand

This is a temple in Chiang Mai Province, Thailand.

Suddenly, the top section of a massive Buddhist stupa collapses in a heap.

The upper part of the stupa collapsed with no time to react, sending debris cascading down amid a loud roar.

Built by local residents 37 years ago in 1989, the temple has stood ever since.

Local authorities believe that heavy rain overnight on November 4 caused water to seep into the interior of the stupa, triggering the collapse. They have restricted access to the surrounding area and launched an investigation.
