On a positive note, at least this incident didn't end up like the one many years ago in 1990. Back then a major gas explosion and fire occurred in Bangkok when a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) tank truck crashed on an expressway exit. The incident on New Phetchaburi Road, on September 24, 1990, resulted in 88 deaths, 36 injuries, and the destruction of 67 cars and 51 shop-houses. The fire burned for over 24 hours
