On the street outside, people ran for cover, some jumping into cars and speeding away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At the construction site, in northern Bangkok, at least eight people were confirmed dead and scores more were missing as of Friday evening, according to Anutin Charnvirakul, a deputy prime minister. They were all presumed to be part of the 320-person crew of workers putting up a new building for the Thai government.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">About 70 people were taken to local hospitals.
