I somehow suspect then that he was ignoring the standard procedure for rectifying the problem. Harsh, but he brought this down upon himself, when doing it the way the manual prescribes might have taken a few minutes longer, but he would still be alive. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post trainman34014 Posted August 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 14, 2018 RIP that man. Sadly it was the usual Thai approach to Health&Safety, just needed a couple of props carefully inserted but looking at the picture it seems they never learn, because the Guy under the truck body is not exactly in a safe position when he knows what has just happened ! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGW Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Surprising incident? majority of the trucks on the roads are usually quite, non polluting & well maintained, driven by polite community minded individuals! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
