  1. Here's another report from the NYT saying the same thing. Questions Arise Over Concrete Wall Near Runway in South Korea Crash* https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/30/business/plane-crash-korea-wall-investigation.html *Link won't embed.
  2. It is indeed there to house the navigation anntenae - or at least, it is according to every report I've read or seen. Where do you see that it isn't? As explained by multiple sources, these anntenae would normally be at ground level but because this runway is on a slope, they needed to be higher up. However, instead of raising the anntenae position by using frangible materials, they chose to use solid concrete. Here's just one such report from the BBC. There are others saying the same thing. Why was there a wall near runway at S Korea plane crash airport?
  3. There is a system called EMAS that is designed to stop planes quickly and safely if they overshoot the runway and the airport didn't have sufficient run off space. It's installed at over a hundred airports in the US but only 15 others worldwide. Engineered materials arrestor system
  4. It now appears the airport authorities knew the berm was problematic. An internal document issued in May this year expressed concern that it was too close to the end of the runway. https://youtu.be/NCwZnSiOW78?si=N7inUDBmqx0sv3XG
  5. Because all immigrants are automatically Democrat supporters? Just like Musk and Ramaswamy?
  6. It is a confirmation from the Azerbaijanis. As stated in the linked article.
  7. Again, there's no link there, just plain text. Links in other posts work fine, but yours recently (about the last dozen or more) have no URL attached, they're just text.
  8. The link is not working. Actually, that seems to be a problem with a lot of your posts, recently. Can you check and fix it? I liked checking into it those stories but can't any more (for the most part).
  9. Pretty sure that's not the original quote. In fact, even the link you post, gives the correct wording, which is, "Cry 'Havoc!', and let slip the dogs of war."
  10. I don't think I would like that either but Hua Hin doesn't require photos taken while sitting on the bed, so it's a moot point (here at least). When they did the home visit (which as I say, was only the once) the IO only took pictures outside the front door and out on the street where the house number is located. No big deal, for me anyway.
  11. My personal experience is that processing yearly extensions by reason of marriage are not that much of a hassle at all. I have done four extensions, all in Hua Hin and the only slightly annoying thing about it is the number of documents that need to be signed when you hand in the final package at the Immigration Office. I've never really had a problem about supplying the correct documents, Hua Hin supplies a list of what they require and so long as you follow it, you won't have a problem. The only slight problem I had was in the very first year (when I didn't have the document list from them) and I didn't have a copy of my daughter's birth certificate and had to go back home to get it and make a copy. Subsequent years - plain sailing. I've always found the IO's very pleasant to deal with. No questioning of virtually any kind, they just take the documents, check through them, take a photo of myself and the wife and then give me a date to return to get the extension stamped in. Incidentally, they only ever did a home visit in the first year, which was a quick ten minute drop by, which I didn't find intrusive in the slightest.
  12. Apparently, in his society media posts he also blamed Germany for being too pro-Islam. Germans mourn attack on Christmas market
  13. Apparently confirmed as malaria - so not a dire plot by the WHO (or anyone else) to foist a new disease and/or control measures on the public at all (as some people were trying to suggest). Mystery DRC outbreak officially identified as malaria
  14. However the OP is doing extensions based on marriage. Different requirements (those listed by @DrJack54 above).
  15. Then you gathered incorrectly, as many of his police colleagues have pointed out. Derek Chauvin trial: Fourth officer joins colleagues claiming he broke rules by kneeling on George Floyd’s neck
  16. If there's any two tier justice here, it's not that evident. Here's a list of similar incidents involving Labour Politicians (one even involving Sir Keir last year). All the strange things that have been thrown at politicians over the years
  17. Occam's razor means that the simplest explanation that meets the known facts, is likely to be the correct one. There is no current evidence that these drones are searching for anything. Meanwhile, the simplest explanation I'm aware of (and various journalists have pointed this out) is that the vast majority of the sightings represent commercial, hobbyist and law enforcement drones, civilian aviation (helicopters and planes) or even gas station lights and constellations.
  18. The Daily Mirror article that is quoted, identifies him as a British citizen, originally from Gillingham in Kent, who was running a cleaning business in New South Wales (Australia).
  19. The victim here did not illegally enter Cambodia, nor did she open a mule account. Those were actions undertaken by the suspect, Parichat. The victim did transfer millions into the suspect's account however, but as @bfc1980has pointed out, some of these scams are very sophisticated and convincing, using documents almost good enough to fool a judge, fake but official-seeming websites and video calls with people wearing police uniforms, appearing to be in a police station.
  20. According to the OP, they had CCTV in the classroom:
  21. You're right that it doesn't prove anything, but I also always produce it when processing my yearly extensions and they always seem happy to accept it. (I don't have a rental agreement as my daughter owns the house so I don't pay rent and none of the utility bills are in my name).
  22. That's what I did when I needed an address verification when transferring to a new financial management company recently. I just asked at my Kasikorn bank branch for a statement. I didn't tell them what it was for, and they provided it (at a fee of course) with no problem. They've only ever had my address in English, since I opened the account, so that's what appeared on it. It was accepted without demur by the company I sent it to. I've previously asked for a statement and volunteered the information that it was to support a UK visa application for my wife (which it was) - but they wouldn't have known the difference if it wasn't.
  23. From the OP: "Among the passengers were Paetongtarn’s siblings, Panthongtae and Pintongta, her husband Pitaka Sukawat, and their children"
  24. Is anybody else having a problem connecting to the EXAT Portal recently? I'm trying to check my balance and/or top up using the app but I keep getting an error connecting to the server. The Easy Pass website is also giving a 500 page error message.
  25. The OP says they were, "arrested after causing concern on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road." It then goes on to state, "the young men faced several charges including reckless and dangerous driving." Sounds like they were on an open road, causing danger to the public and violating traffic laws, to me.
