  1. That is because it is a private first class jet. It is not a standard commercial airline. https://comlux.com/aviation/fleet/airbus-acj-319-9h-liv All of which has been discussed already in the thread, Even the picture you posted says 19 pax, but you state holds 16!
  2. Thaksin Shinawatra is suing Thai Pakdee Party leader Warong Dechgitvigrom for claiming that Thaksin paid 2 billion baht for his bail, his lawyer Winyat Chartmontri said, and his legal team will file a lawsuit for several hundred million baht next week. Warong posted a reply on his social media, "I am not afraid of you." Justice Minister Tawee Sodsong commented on Warong's claims, stating "The person who made the statement must be held accountable because the justice system operates on honour and integrity. When making statements, one must have data, evidence, and facts, as it involves multiple organisations . I assure you that the justice process requires everyone to adhere to the law," Also as part of Thaksin's bail condition, he is barred from leaving the country without permission. Thaksin's passport must to be handed over, but since he has not used his Thai passport for a long time, he will have to obtain a new one before handing it over to the authorities.
  3. Thai news report. “Tight Security for 8 Crew Members Accused of Stealing Illegal Oil Tankers 19.30 on June 18, Pol. Maj. Gen. Jaroonkiat Pankaew, Deputy Commissioner of the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB), along with officers from the Crime Suppression Division (CSD), escorted eight crew members accused of stealing confiscated illegal oil tankers to Wing 56 in Songkhla province. They were set to board a plane for further questioning at the Central Investigation Bureau headquarters. The operation was secured by the Machanu Special Operations Unit of the Marine Police, equipped with full tactical gear. The flight to Bangkok was expected to take approximately 2.5 hours, with an estimated arrival at around 10:00 PM the same day. Upon arrival, the suspects would be handed over to the Hanuman Special Operations Unit of the CSD for immediate questioning at the Central Investigation Bureau. The suspects are scheduled to be remanded in custody the following day. The transport and security measures underscore the seriousness of the case and the authorities' commitment to ensuring the suspects are safely and securely brought to justice. In addition, from the interrogation of the crew, it was found that 3 of the 8 suspects, including one who was a boat captain, received orders from the boat owner to take the boat away from the Sattahip Marine Police Pier on June 11, and to sell the oil at sea to a large ship that can hold 1-2 million litres. 7 people also escaped on the said boat. It was also stated that this arrest was not staged or created to create an image. or was there any coordination with the mastermind to deliver the boat back to the authorities.” https://workpointnews.com/around/news/NXFASVF Video of the suspects boarding a police plane. https://fb.watch/sNLOl2ja6r/?
  4. In the understatement of 2024 so far, Boeing’s CEO says his company has been ‘far from perfect’ after a litany of safety snafus. https://thehill.com/policy/defense/4728162-boeing-ceo-congressional-hearing/ Boeing lost track of up to 400 bad 737 parts, whistleblower says. https://gulfnews.com/business/aviation/boeing-lost-track-of-up-to-400-bad-737-parts-whistleblower-says-1.103170057
  5. News Report: Hospital Admits Mistake in Retaining Gauze in Patient's Body for 10 Days “Date: June 18, 2024 Pathum Thani, Thailand - Thammasat University Hospital has issued a public apology following a grave medical oversight that resulted in severe infection for a patient undergoing uterine cancer treatment. The hospital acknowledged the error of leaving a 2-meter gauze inside the patient's vaginal cavity for ten days, leading to a significant health deterioration. The incident came to light when Khwanchai Chitbanjong, the son of the affected patient, took to Facebook to highlight his mother's plight. According to Khwanchai, his mother was diagnosed with stage 1 uterine cancer and was undergoing brachytherapy—a treatment that involves implanting radioactive material in the uterus—at the hospital. On June 4, during the procedure, the medical team mistakenly left gauze inside the patient, which subsequently caused a severe infection. In their statement, the hospital detailed the procedural lapse, admitting that the failure to verify the gauze length led to the incident. The hospital expressed deep regret for the oversight and assured full responsibility for the patient's ongoing care and recovery. The hospital has pledged comprehensive medical treatment to ensure the patient returns to normal health and has committed to providing appropriate compensation. Additionally, they emphasized implementing stricter measures to prevent any recurrence of such incidents. The hospital's statement underscores their dedication to patient safety and their intent to restore trust by taking immediate corrective actions. The patient's condition remains under close medical supervision as efforts to treat the infection continue. This case serves as a stark reminder of the critical importance of meticulous medical practice and the profound impacts of medical errors on patients' lives.” https://www.thaipbs.or.th/news/content/341137
  6. Boeing will lose on Capitol Hill, how much is up to CEO David Calhoun. https://theaircurrent.com/industry-strategy/boeing-will-lose-on-capitol-hill-how-much-is-up-to-david-calhoun/
  7. Fully agree, but Thai hospitals will ask you about the snakes characteristics, it’s part of their procedures and guidance. https://www.bumrungrad.com/en/health-blog/jan-2018/to-do-if-snake-bites#:~:text=Take note of any characteristics,direct contact with the wound.
  8. That is not good, was it because they delayed going to hospital or the toxicity of the venom or poor first aid, such as using a tourniquet, which can cause limb ischemia (severely blocked blood flow).
  9. Agree, but if you can identify the snake it makes treatment quicker and easier, so you receive the correct anti-venom. Emergency rooms will also know how to use your physical symptoms and bite marks to determine if anti-venom is required or not.

  12. Very much agree, the Malayan pit viper can be ill-tempered and have been known to strike without much provocation. Once bitten by one, you need hospital treatment, and be able to identify the snake to the hospital, as it has a mortality rate of about 2 percent. https://www.thainationalparks.com/species/calloselasma-rhodostoma
  13. No not poisonous, but likes to hug tightly. They may bite if threatened, but they don't have fangs, just back curving teeth that grab, but that is rare if handled correctly.
  14. Thaksin was released on bail of 500000 baht after The Criminal Court accepted the lèse-majesté case.

  16. A Sattahip family came home, to discover they had an unwelcome visitor. Local responders caught the snake and released it unharmed, back into the wild, far from residential areas. What would be your reaction if you come home and find this waiting?
  17. This is the title of the thread “ Justice Department investigating door plug blowout on Alaska Airlines flight, report says” It is not a thread about every incident that occurs to a Boeing aircraft. You do understand other aircraft type have problems, but wait that does not fit your agenda. The real facts and details will be released after the investigation, but I doubt that you will then believe it. I find it sad that someone is so paranoid, that they see conspiracies everywhere, and you have certainly posted some “wing-nut” theories (your own words) recently..
  18. Unaddressed Animal Remains Persist After Chatuchak “Six days after the devastating fire at the Chatuchak Weekend Market's pet zone, carcasses of animals remain scattered and unmanaged in their cages. The blaze, which broke out on June 11, left numerous animals, including birds, snakes, and fish, dead within their enclosures. Today's inspection revealed a grim scene: some animals were reduced to charred remains, while others retained discernible features, clustered together in futile attempts to escape. The stench from the decaying carcasses and burnt structures permeated the area. Meanwhile, affected vendors gathered to register for new trading spots with the State Railway of Thailand (SRT). These vendors, whose businesses were destroyed and animals perished in the fire, are seeking new spaces within the market. The SRT reported that 54 vendors, occupying 116 stalls, were impacted. Historically, these vendors operated under annual permits with a daily rental fee of 60 baht, or 1,800 baht per month. This year’s permits were set to expire on June 30, 2024, but the fire has expedited the need for relocation. SRT officials stated that temporary trading spaces within Chatuchak Market are now available, and vendors can commence operations without the need for new permits. However, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) maintains that specific permits for trading animals are required, a matter the SRT clarified is outside its jurisdiction. Efforts to obtain further comments from SRT executives regarding a comprehensive management plan for the aftermath of the fire remain unanswered at this time.” https://www.thaipbs.or.th/news/content/341117

  21. Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun will testify before a US Senate panel on June 18 to address safety concerns about the Boeing 737 MAX. https://finance.yahoo.com/video/boeing-ceo-testify-senate-expect-151251355.html
  22. Sorry, but this thread is about the justice department investigation in Boeing, not about cherry picking a single aircraft incident, because it suits your anti Boeing agenda. There are many websites that give full details and facts about all incidents, accidents and investigations, which regularly occur, for all types and makes of aircraft. Pointless discussing this incident, before at least the preliminary investigation is issued, as it will be pure speculation, so lets stick to the facts known so far. On Jun 14th 2024 the NTSB reported: The NTSB has opened an investigation into an inflight oscillation event on a Southwest Airlines B-737-MAX8. “The event, which was described by the flight crew as a “Dutch roll,” occurred on May 25 at about 8 am PT at an altitude of 34,000 feet as Southwest flight 746 was enroute from Phoenix, Arizona (PHX), to Oakland, California (OAK). A Dutch roll is a coupled oscillation in an airplane’s yaw and roll axes, inherent to the flight dynamics of all conventional airplanes. None of the 175 passengers or crew of six aboard the flight were injured in the event. Following the event, SWA performed maintenance on the airplane and discovered damage to structural components. SWA notified the NTSB of the event and damage on June 7. The NTSB’s Vehicle Recorder Laboratory in Washington has received data downloaded from the airplane’s digital flight data recorder. Data from the recorder will aid investigators in determining the length and severity of the event. The cockpit voice recorder, which is currently limited to two hours of audio, was overwritten and unavailable to investigators. A preliminary report is expected within 30 days of the date of the event.”
  23. Yes agree, used U-Tapao as a planned re-fuelling stop on both legs of the trip. The aircraft had an hour stop at U-Tapao again yesterday, on a flight from Japan before returning to Dubai, Al Maktoum International Airport.
  24. The female driver claimed a tyre exploded before the fire, but the CCTV, from the station, I posted above, clearly shows the pick-up driving over the kerb, as she tried to enter the station. Will be impossible to prove, either way, unless there is better CCTV footage. RPReplay_Final1718658786.mov
