Buddha Statue Falls And Smashes At Thai Temple

This is a dramatic moment a 'lucky' statue of Buddha came crashing down after a crane cable snapped. The 16ft high concrete gold-painted sculpture was being lifted into place to mark the end of Buddhist Lent in Ayutthaya, Thailand on Monday (14/10) morning. Devotees were hoping that the expensive sacred statue, paid for with donations, would bring them good luck over the coming months. But a cable tied to the Buddha's head and attached to crane suddenly snapped - sending the iconic religious figure face-first into the ground. Locals screamed with shock as the statue smashed into pieces, flinging debris at the assembled crowds. Footage taken by local worshipper Amnarj Sakdiphong shows how the blessed moment turned to disaster. Miraculously, nobody was hurt.

Finally the only reasonable comment

Why weren’t they closer, 🤦 they would’ve reached enlightenment sooner

[@TopF47Kide]

Their Lord has fallen hhhhhhhhhhhhh Where are their minds? How to worship a statue they make themselves

[@siblinguploads7326]

To correct you, it symbolizes the actual Buddha

[@F_antomas]

@@siblinguploads7326 no it does not ... it's called paganism...worshipping an idol who cannot help ''itself'' ..

@@F_antomas atheist or not, I am just about to sleep. But since I’ve seen how your poorly educated face could not bare to see a 10 month old comment and leave it alone. I am not here to correct you. But I just think you should find something better do. I have nothing to do but reply to your ignorant comment, and I am too lazy to reply again anyways. Either way I may talk in 8 hours in case you are looking for swine drama.

@@siblinguploads7326 Like I care if you are going to sleep or not or if you respond in 8 hours or 20 years ? you weren't lazy to respond '' immediately'' huh ? . LOL I hurt your weak feelings so bad you got up to respond in the middle of your night down there Ha ha ..you are the ignorant one and you worship things that won't help themselves . nothing you say will change my mind ... oh I respond even to 8 years comments too and lets face it everyone does it .

[@siblinguploads7326]

@@F_antomas People have different points of view, I totally understand how you might not like how people worship the (in your definition a piece of rock) Buddha. And your point of view is so relevant like you are so seen right now. But like, can you do the world a favor and just don’t be such an opinion forced please? Besides the comments was 10 months ago, so like I don’t see why you would still reply, but whatever floats your boat.
