Please share your knowledge that makes you think that? I think you will find that arson of “20 million baht” yachts’ at sea is not common. A review of the owner/boat history, were there details of non-payments, many debts, poor maintenance records, boat up for sale for some time, information from other owner/local companies, would form some part of any investigation. It is reported by the captain that he and the 2 technicians took the boat out to test after repairs were completed. When at sea it was noticed flames were coming from the exhaust pipe from the engine. Insurance is unlikely to pay if it is suspected there was negligence/defective workmanship, evidence of arson, suspected fraud or false/fake statements made to authorities.

Can you access any of these links, both are shorter version of the Fortune story. https://au.news.yahoo.com/finance/news/boeing-dead-whistleblower-warned-safety-210114034.html https://www.bbc.com/news/68907597

Can't really see this being used again!

The Boeing whistleblower, John Barnett, testified for 12 hours before his suicide. Here’s what he saw at the plane maker that alarmed him. https://fortune.com/2024/04/24/exclusive-the-boeing-whistleblower-testified-for-12-hours-before-his-suicide-heres-what-he-saw-at-the-planemaker-that-alarmed-him/

Video of incident posted yesterday. Have asked for my thread to be closed. Local media stated about 20 million baht, new, price tag on this boat. At least there was plenty of water for firefighting.

April 26, yacht fire at sea off Na Jomtien, Sattahip District. When rescue boats arrived they found that the boat was fully ablaze. There was a cloud of smoke and three crew members on the boat. . Officials used the boats to spray water in an attempt to extinguish, taking more than half an hour, but the final damage was extensive. The crew members on board were rescued, with no reported injuries. Yacht is named Coco, it was reported it was being tested after repairs.

The Data Protection and Digital Information Bill, which will give the DWP these powers, is still at the House of Laws report stage. Given when a general election is called, this bill may be passed or not in time. https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3430

Agree with your comments, but I think the airline and airport, will not make this a reportable incident, under ICAO annex 13, definitions. “Incident. An occurrence, other than an accident, associated with the operation of an aircraft which affects or could affect the safety of operation. Serious incident. An incident involving circumstances indicating that an accident nearly occurred.” Do I would be surprised to see any further details appearing, even on aviation safety sites.

Have you a link to those who are switching to Airbus? Neither Airbus or Boeing will ever be able to supply the aviation needs alone. Airlines are limited for choices, so the Boeing order book will continue to grow, here are links recent orders the American Airlines order and a 20 777X aircraft order from an undisclosed customer. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/04/09/business/boeing-orders-deliveries?cid=external-feeds_iluminar_yahoo https://www.airdatanews.com/boeing-wins-order-for-20-777x-jets-from-undisclosed-customer/

That would be the Lockheed L-1011 TriStar, the last one left the factory in 1984, after which Lockheed withdrew from the commercial aircraft business due to its poor sales and losing out to the McDonnell Douglas DC-10, for airline business. Only one TriStar is still flying, the Stargazer, built in 1974, modified in 1994 and used by Orbital Sciences (now part of Northrop Grumman) as a mother ship launch pad for the Pegasus launch vehicle. https://avgeekery.com/stargazer-the-lone-tristar/

Sorry my post is correct, Thai Airways pre ordered the A380s in 2004. The A380s were delivered between 2012 & 2013, after some delays. https://web.archive.org/web/20110927145118/http://events.airbus.com/A380/prevArticleDetail.aspx?artId=327&dispBack=0

This reported in Thai media. “Chemical leak in a factory on Soi Rama 2, Chom Thong area. Officials and disaster relief volunteers rushed to use water for dilution. At 2:22 a.m. on April 25, 2024, reported a fire at a chemical factory, Soi Rama II Soi 20 (Soi Chan Phring), Rama II Road, Bang Mot Subdistrict, Chom Thong District, Bangkok. Dao Khanong Fire and Rescue Station staff arrived at the scene and preliminary investigation found that there was a large amount of smoke coming from the factory. At 2:49 a.m., it was found there was a chemical leak inside the factory (not a factory fire). Chemical response team of the Public Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Office supported the scene. and coordinate the environmental department of the district office to participate in the operation. At 3:03 a.m., officials used water to dilute the chemical release and the smoke plume decreased. Officials also removed 12 additional chemical drums to the outside. 3:12 a.m. At this time, there is no chemical smoke. and officials started to inspect the building” Seems to be a single drum leak, which was quickly dealt with.

June 2021 a lawsuit was filed against the company, and persons must have been named at that time. “Nong Phawa villagers sue Win Process company demanding environmental restoration and compensation for agricultural losses” ”a lawsuit against Win Process Company Limited and two associated authority figures in the company.” https://www.earththailand.org/en/article/717 There must also be company registration details available. https://www.matchlink.asia/business/page/Thailand/RAYONG/99253-win-process-co-ltd.html

Think the plane is justing showing it’s age.
