Jeju Air Flight from Bangkok Skids Off Runway at Muan Airport, 28 Dead
"...If the next solid object is half a mile away then the plane will have slowed down..." ...but if it isn't, as in this case?

We were not talking about the B737-800. I was answering a question about the B737 MAX, a different aircraft than the one involved in Muan S. Korea. I know. My post was a response to your comment that was specifically about the MAX!... "The MAX was a differnt problem. It was an issue with the MCAS (Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentaion System). Boeing said it was now fixed and the FAA certified for it for flight again".

A plane at 200-250kph would destroy a wire fence as if it were not there and hit the next solid object!

Why? Boeing sources the. landing gear from a supplier who also supplies other aircraft manufacturers. Perhaps it was Boeing's equipment or construction that caused the supplier's otherwise perfectly operating landing gear to not deploy/lock?

The aircraft was also certified for flight before the MCAS issue!

When the plane was landing at 200+kph without brakes and hitting a solid object what else would you expect - seat belt bruises and everyone walking off?

Commercial flights always have enough fuel to go to an alternative airport if necessary and the number of passengers, luggage and cargo (i.e. the weight of the plane) is always part of that calculation.

Apart from making the runway even more treacherous, what good would foam on the runway be before the plane had come to a halt, destroyed itself and burst into flames? You think that it would have prevented the fuel tanks exploding?

No, he suggested a very specific brand, and model, nothing "random", at all.

Where can Thais get help against a scammer?
I've read this from you before... but I can't remember the response to the question probably asked at the time. What is to stop someone from calling up 'this number' and reporting someone they've had an argument with and getting their account frozen almost immediately ? Is a police report and some form of warrant not necessary to freeze an account ? You heard it from me before because it is factual. The AOC, banks and police work together on this and, for the initial investigation, I don't believe that a warrant is necessary as the time delay would defeat the object of the exercise that is to try to reimburse people who have been scammed before the funds are transferred out of the mule bank account to a third party.

Where can Thais get help against a scammer?
Bit rich to assign blame to the government and KTB staff without any evidence. There is a number to call to report theses scams that gets the receiving bank account frozen almost immediately. It was widely publicised about a year ago. Those who have been scammed online can contact the Anti-Online Scam Center at 1441. Reporting helps track scammers and potentially recover funds. https://library.siam-legal.com/what-is-thailands-anti-online-scam-operation-center/
