I'm familiar with the history of that tragedy in NYC a century ago. And no...it will not make any difference inThailand. The culture of corruption and coverups is engrained in the Thais much like the same culture in China where these practices originated.

Nothing else to worry about in Thailand? One of the opposition parties planting a seed for the next coup?

Gives the Chinese another reason to not visit Thailand.

Or the January 6th rioters in the US capital

Same here in the colonies

Step one:bring all sewage treatment plant(s)up to code. Step two:check the sea water for contaminants after the new treatment plant(s) are fully functional...as if that was ever going to happen.

That was my first thought.

Lack of education on how to handle this situation. I propose that the Thai fire departments make regular visits to schools to teach the students about fire safety. Not optimistic.

Do you really think that people in Congress are going to vote themselves out of a job? The proposal been tried before and never got anywhere.

Jungeceylon? As a chemist, not pharmacist, I agree with everything that you said about the properties of this foam when burned.

Foam burns instantly and gives off toxic fumes. Exit doors possibly blocked/locked. Common in nightclubs that charge an entrance fee so that the party people don't let their friends in through the fire exit and avoid the cover charge.

Yes. I remember reading about that fire. I had been in that nightclub several times before the fire. Always wall to wall crowds. Could hardly move. According to the information at the time, a temporary lighting fixture blew up and caught the foam "animals" surrounding the stage on fire. The owners of the nightclub blamed it on a blown transformer just outside the venue on Bangle Road which was quickly disproven. The "Phuket Gazette" posted photos of the charred bodies but were soon taken down. The rumor was that the faulty light fixture is currently at the bottom of the Andaman sea. "Land of cover your ass, not smiles."

Are you talking about China and Cambodia? Just kidding...

How did chemical castration turn out for Alan Touring?
