That would depend if forensics were even called, which I doubt. The origin of fires should be easy to determine, either the engine compartment or the occupant compartment. If the fire started in the engine compartment, there will be burn patterns under the bonnet. The burn patterns/markings on the windscreen or its remains, will also be a good indicator of where the fire started and how it spreed. If an accelerant was poured inside the van, then the burn pattern and residue of it, will be clearly identifiable and show it as a deliberate fire. Accelerant poured over a hot engine, is not so easy to identify, but as it is far more dangerous, the driver should be checked for flash burns, to back of hands or singed hair/eyebrows, and details noted as to if the bonnet was open and who opened it. My guess is that there is a 20 baht police report, saying the van burnt out on such a date, and not much else.

5555 yes sounds very suspicious and a little too convenient, how long would it take to pick up the cash and get out? The only way to prove his story is not true, is if he is caught on a spending spree in the near future. Also not an EV, 55555

Yes good call. It will be the highway police under the command of Region 2

No problem, gave me a little laugh. But I think the new change is still wrong. “The UK has 10x the number of road deaths that Thailand has”

Think you are comparing Thailand with UK, and just a typing error. Not commenting on your own experience, but the main difference between UK and Thailand is the amount of accidents/deaths and injuries involving motorbikes in Thailand and the UK has more involving pushbikes. I have experience of bad driving in the UK, Thailand, Middle East, Laos and Indonesia, and have found that the end result is always the same. Poor driving, lacking attention, drink/drug driving, speeding, poor road design and not driving to the conditions, leads to death and injuries. Here are links to 2023 UK road accident statistics and current Thai daily data. https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/reported-road-casualties-in-great-britain-provisional-estimates-year-ending-june-2023/reported-road-casualties-in-great-britain-provisional-estimates-year-ending-june-2023#:~:text=Headline figures,-Chart 1 shows&text=In reported road collisions in,the year ending June 2022 https://www.thairsc.com/

Here is a picture of the missing panel, would not have been hard to miss.

It now seems that the Boeing criminal probe has been expanded with a Seattle Grand Jury Subpoena https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-03-15/boeing-criminal-probe-widens-with-seattle-grand-jury-subpoena https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/15/business/boeing-subpoenas-grand-jury.html

How do you know what evidence I have of this incident? There are far better sources available than AN, Thai news sites have a lot better information and witness reports. I am critical of the driver, involved in a single vehicle accident, or do you think the concrete barrier ran out in front of him? I was not Thai bashing, which seems to be the favourite pastime, of the poster I replied to. In fact the report only states “A badly burned, unidentified male body was found deceased inside the car” no nationality given. I also know that such accidents happen everywhere. Here is an example from the UK, last month. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/woman-dead-car-crash-enfield-lea-valley-road-b1056024.html

These are the planned dates, currently for the committee stage of the bill, in the Lords.

I am also amazed how many different companies and countries build parts for the 737. https://simpleflying.com/putting-together-boeing-737-process-guide/#:~:text=The Boeing 737 aircraft is,the UK and South Carolina.

Why don’t you politely just go away This thread is about Boeing and deals with facts. It does not need conspiracy theory foil hatters, bigots or racists. Your posts clearly show that you continue to push your own vile alternative agendas. I find some of your comments embarrassing for you, and completely out of touch with what should be acceptable in the real world. If I agreed with you opinions, that would just make us both wrong and fools. I have added a link to what must be one of your talking points, from Fox, (the channel that says it does not broadcast news, just opinions and had to pay 787 million for lies). https://www.foxbusiness.com/media/pilots-hired-based-merit-not-diversity-safety-top-priority-aviation-expert-says

Popcorn time, another thread that will end up in a slanging match on the pros and cons of frozen pensions. This subject does seem to get posters triggered on both sides of the debate. I have said before, that the UK agencies know I live in Thailand and it does not concern or bother me what others do or don’t tell the UK government. It is up to them, none of my business. Nothing new in this video, that has not been discussed in the other UK pension threads. The video does not mention that the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill, is still in the house of lords and there is not clear timescale of when or even if it gets pass the report stage/3rd reading, before going back to the commons to become law. https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3430

Yes I fully agree. I am not supporting Boeing, and could post the same type of recent incidents for their aircraft. Just trying to show that reported aircraft incidents are a regular occurrence, regardless of the manufacturer. Boeing is having a rough ride at present, in the media, and rightly so. The FAA and their past alliance with Boeing should share some of that blame. Also some of the recent incidents are solely down to the airlines, but mention Boeing in the headlines sales the news. . The problem is that airlines have little choice but to still buy from Boeing, as Boeing and Airbus have such a large share of the market. Airbus alone could never keep up with current and future demands.

Sorry but don’t believe this was in the Pattaya Police area, probably under Nong Prue Police. But don’t let facts get in the way of your daily Thai bashing.

Some now you’re moving on from your alternative reality, conspiracy theory about empty seats, to an agenda to suit your racist and misogynist characteristics. Have a good day, but remember to not let that total arrogance get in the way of your foolish ignorance. Please do not bother to reply, I prefer speaking to people who deal with facts, do not wear tin foil hats, and do not exhibit vile characteristics, and simply base their options on others colour, race and gender. Maybe get some more balanced information than Fox and the other Trump supporting sites. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/conservatives-blame-diversity-dei-airlines-boycott-1234953756/

There are many reported incidents weekly. How do you considered this is a Boeing problems? Have a look at a few other recent incidents. I have highlighted just the Airbus ones, to give some balance to recent media coverage. United A320 - 200, 8 March 2024, diverted to LA reporting hydraulic failure. United A320 - 200, 9 March 2024, returned to Chicago due to oil warning indication. American Airline A321 -200, 11 March 2024, stopped climb out of Raleigh, after open cargo door indication. Delta Airlines, 10 March 2024, reported problems with flight controls on final approach. United A320 x 200, 14 March 2024, descending into San Francisco reported hydraulic problem. Vueling A320-200N, 14 March 2024, climbing out of Barcelona reporting they had a smoke indication in the cabin. PIA Pakistan International Airlines A320-200, 11 March 2024,registration about 300nm west of Karachi (Pakistan) when the crew decided to divert to Karachi due to the failure of the Inertial Navigation System (INS). Air Canada Rouge A319-100, 7 Match 2024, 210nm south of Montreal when the right hand engine rumbled, it's N1 rolled back to 52%, the airspeed began to decay, and vibrations could be felt throughout the airframe. American Airlines A321-200N, 12 March 2024, was accelerating for takeoff from Phoenix's runway when the crew rejected takeoff at high speed (110 knots over ground). The crew advised ATC their #1 engine (LEAP, left hand) "did not come up" and taxied back to the apron.

Don’t blame the car, just another piece of poor driving

Driver was reported to be alive and trapped when the fire started, not pleasant. In the past driver died from these sorts of impacts. Modern cars have a lot better survivability rate, due to kinetic impact/ crush zones. These zones protect the driver but often require rescue services intervention to release the trapped driver. Most manufacturers produce guidance for rescue services. Attached is the guidance for similar car Honda CR-V https://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/pubs/web/AER14177.pdf

i fully agree, the high voltage batteries are in the boot/trunk. But the facts will not get in the way of many on here, who seem to have an anti EV agenda. High voltage batteries, shown in green, for Honda HR-V.

RIP, the driver, not a nice way to go. Popcorn time, as this seems to be an hybrid, petrol engine and electric motors. This will get the tin foil hatters, out with their EVs conspiracies, but will ignore the fact that the car crashed at speed into a concrete barrier.

Found this from a Boeing pilot, posted online, commenting about recent media and social media coverage. “Boeing has issues. I want to see them fixed. Exaggerating the problem or pretending planes are suddenly falling out of the sky is a cruel ploy for likes & clicks. Some already have anxiety – amping it up without merit is repulsive. This stuff happens everyday & isn’t much of a problem. Those in the industry know it & can see this “Summer of the Shark” (an excellent analogy) is nonsense. It’s cruel & only serves to benefit the poster in likes & clicks. I put my kids on these airplanes when on vacation, and I get into the front seat while working fully expecting to go home to my kids at the end of the trip. I wouldn’t do it if I thought it was unsafe. There is nothing happening – it’s selective storytelling that ignores the frequency of these events hasn’t changed, ignores most of these things have little or nothing to do with design or production & ignores that it happens to other manufacturers at pretty much the same rate. 2023 was the safest year on record for commercial aviation. We’re not suddenly doing anything differently now…you just hear about what was always happening (with safe conclusions) but didn’t notice before. And you hear about in BREAKING NEWS or ANOTHER INCIDENT or whatever alarming/sinister headline they can muster…but it’s just grifters, moving onto the next grift, counting on the idea you won’t take the time to look into it & discover that things are pretty much normal. Like the train derailments last year Or the “Summer of the Shark” It ends when your attention does, but in the meantime, those who are vulnerable to this kind of fear-mongering get to suffer & start making irrational, sometimes life-altering choices. In my world, there’s a lesson you learn early: Panic never helps – it’s your worst enemy & is often more dangerous than whatever malfunction you’re facing is. You start making bad decisions…like seeing a fire alarm & shutting down the engine that’s NOT on fire. You harm yourself far more than you help. So…don’t panic. Don’t assume something is happening. Go ahead & look into it yourself. Most of all…don’t blindly trust the press or social media personalities. They make money based on the number of clicks they get…and fear sells.”

John Barnett worked at Boeing for 32 years, and he retired in 2017. For seven years, from 2010 to 2017, he worked as a quality control manager. This recent case is a defamation suit, using AIR 21 (law protecting airline safety whistleblowers), he initiated against Boeing, so it was himself that placed him there, in-front of the “hostile defence lawyer”. This testimony, has nothing to do with the recent 737 MAX incidents, and the 787 issues he did whistleblow on was litigated to death years ago. Charleston County coroner had initially noted the death as a self-inflicted wound, but said more tests are being done before a final determination, and the police are still actively investigating the death.

It will be interesting to see the final outcome of the police investigation into John Barnett’s death, but the testimony he was giving before he died was not about the current Boeing safety issues, although the safety culture he spoke of, as a whistleblower, could be linked to the current problems. He was giving testimony in his own personal defamation case against Boeing, who he accused of denigrating his character and hampering his career because of the issues/problems he had pointed out. The sad part was that those close to him had identified some problems, and his brother Rodney Barnett told the media, after his death, “Taking on his long-time employer had caused John to develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and his health had been in decline. He was suffering from PTSD and anxiety attacks as a result of being subjected to the hostile work environment at Boeing, which we believe led to his death,"

New passenger lawsuit filed against Alaska Airlines and Boeing, says that wearing their seatbelt saved their lives. “Cuong Tran, of Upland, California, was sitting in the row behind where the side of the aircraft tore away and left a door-sized hole on Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 on Jan. 5, according to a news release from attorney Timothy A. Loranger. Loranger, who filed the lawsuit, said air rushed out of the hole, pulling on Tran and others nearby. The suction tore Tran’s shoes and socks from his feet and he felt his body lift off his seat, the news release said, adding that Tran’s foot was hurt when it was jerked into the seat structure in front of him.” https://apnews.com/article/boeing-airplane-door-blowout-lawsuit-cdc4af3e0047723cdfc4bae301243367

Wait until you visit, “The Shoppes at Belle Grand Rama 9” is behind G Towers, which was some architect’s dream. If it had been in G Tower, that would have been a spot of true pleasure.
