Motorcycle taxis causes traffic gridlock during Pattaya concert
Lots of festivals, especially if famous stars are present, draw huge crowds in all countries. Some of these event tickets cost a fortune, so of course you’re going to find crowds outside. I imagine most of Thai youths can’t afford entry, so hang around outside. There are thousands of kids outside stadiums when Taylor Swift is on , let them enjoy themselves. I don’t see any harm as long as there is no fighting for example. -

Bomb Threats Target Trump Cabinet Picks and Officials
Donald Trump’s cabinet nominees and members of his White House team have become the targets of bomb threats and swatting incidents. The FBI confirmed it is investigating multiple cases involving false emergency calls intended to elicit a heavy police response at the homes of Trump’s appointees. These threats, described by law enforcement as numerous and coordinated, have raised significant concerns about the safety of public officials and their families. The threats were directed at nominees for key roles, including the Departments of Housing, Agriculture, and Labor, as well as Trump’s pick for U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. The incidents, which occurred late Tuesday and early Wednesday, are under active investigation by police. Karoline Leavitt, a spokesperson for Trump’s transition team, condemned the attacks, calling them “violent, un-American threats to their lives and those who live with them.” She confirmed law enforcement acted swiftly to protect those targeted and pledged the team’s resilience. “With President Trump as our example, dangerous acts of intimidation and violence will not deter us,” she stated. While neither Leavitt nor the FBI disclosed the names of all the targets, some individuals have come forward to confirm they were affected. Elise Stefanik, Trump’s nominee for U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, revealed her family home was threatened as she traveled with her husband and three-year-old son from Washington, D.C., to New York for Thanksgiving. Meanwhile, New York police identified Howard Lutnick, Trump’s nominee for Commerce Secretary, as another target. Reports indicate that none of the individuals targeted this week were under the protection of the U.S. Secret Service. Lee Zeldin, nominated to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, disclosed that a pipe bomb threat with a “pro-Palestinian themed message” was sent to his home. "My family and I were not home at the time and are safe," Zeldin stated, expressing gratitude for the quick actions of local law enforcement. Similarly, Brooke Rollins, Trump’s choice for the Department of Agriculture, acknowledged a threat against her family in Fort Worth, Texas. “We were unharmed and quickly returned home,” she wrote in a social media post, praising the police for their swift response. Other nominees, including Scott Turner for the Department of Housing and Lori Chavez-Deremer for Labor Secretary, also shared their experiences of being targeted. Both vowed that such threats would not hinder their commitments. Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz, who recently withdrew from consideration for Attorney General, was among the additional individuals affected. A bomb threat in Niceville, Florida, prompted a thorough search of his residence, but no devices were found. Fox News reported that John Ratcliffe, Trump’s nominee for CIA Director, and Pete Hegseth, his pick for Defense Secretary, also received threats. These incidents follow a troubling trend of hoax attacks against high-profile political figures. Last year, swatting incidents over Christmas targeted numerous politicians, predominantly Republicans, but some Democrats as well. President Joe Biden has been briefed on the situation, with the White House affirming its communication with federal law enforcement and Trump’s transition team. U.S. Capitol Police, in coordination with federal agencies, emphasized the need for discretion to reduce the risk of copycat threats. These events underscore the dangers public officials face in a polarized political climate, highlighting the urgency of addressing threats against those serving in government.

Car Fire on Borommaratchachonnani Elevated Road Causes Traffic Problems for Motorists
A car fire on the outbound Borommaratchachonnani Elevated Road, Bangkok on the afternoon of November 27, caused some chaos for motorists as flames not only destroyed the vehicle but also spread to a safety barrier, which started to collapsed and rained debris onto the busy road below. The incident, reported at approximately 16:55 by the Rama 199 Radio Communication Centre, prompted an immediate response from firefighters and rescue teams. The fire occurred in the Sala Thammasop Subdistrict, causing significant disruption in the Thaweewattana District. When emergency crews arrived, they discovered the reported as diesel engine car completely engulfed in flames. The driver and passengers had safely got out of the car when the fire was first noticed coming from the engine compartment. The intense heat had spread to the elevated road’s safety barrier, causing it to give way. As sections of the barrier fell, large pieces of burning debris landed on the lanes below, creating chaos among motorists attempting to avoid the fiery fragments. Despite the alarming situation, quick action by authorities prevented further incidents. Police promptly diverted traffic around the affected area while firefighters worked to contain the blaze. It took 15 minutes to extinguish the flames using 2 water hose-lines, from the attending fire trucks. Witnesses described scenes of panic as drivers swerved to dodge falling debris. “It was terrifying to see pieces of the road barrier on fire, coming down like missiles,” one motorist said. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and authorities were able to clear the area without additional incidents. The burnt-out vehicle was reduced to a charred shell, and cleanup crews worked to remove the fallen debris and assess damage to both the elevated road and the highway below. Authorities evaluated the damage to the elevated road to ensure it remains safe for use. The investigation into the fire continues. Pictures and video from responders. -- 2024-11-28 My Movie.mp4 -
