Fire Charcoal Kiln Explosion Kills Cattle, Injures 71-Year-Old Farmer
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 71-year-old man in Buriram narrowly escaped with his life after a charcoal kiln exploded in the early hours of the morning of 21 April, sparking a fast-moving blaze that engulfed a cattle pen and killed two cows and an unborn calf. The incident occurred in Moo 3 village, Isan Khet subdistrict, Chalerm Phra Kiat district. Mr. Samphao, the elderly farmer who was still visibly shaken by the event, said he had been making charcoal for over 40 years but had never experienced anything like this. At around 01:30, Mr. Samphao was awoken by what sounded like an explosion outside his house. On inspection, he discovered flames shooting from the charcoal kiln. The fire quickly reached a nearby pile of over 400 hay bales, which then spread rapidly to the cattle pen. Acting on instinct, Mr. Samphao rushed to save the animals. The pen was divided into two sections, one of which housed a heavily pregnant cow and another. Despite his efforts, he was unable to reach that section due to the intense heat and flames, sustaining burns to his back, shoulders, and legs in the process. He did, however, manage to free three other cows from the adjacent pen. The two cows and the unborn calf in the second pen were burned alive. In addition to the loss of livestock, the fire destroyed valuable farming equipment, including a walking tractor and two chainsaws. What baffled Mr. Samphao most was how the kiln could have exploded. He had stopped using it 15 days earlier, regularly dousing it with water, and the area had seen heavy rainfall three times since then. Despite all precautions, the fire still erupted, something he had never encountered in his decades of charcoal production. His daughter, Ms. Saijai, 40, said she rushed to the scene from another house when she realised her father was in danger. She recounted how much her father loved the cattle, and how fortunate it was that he escaped the flames. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Khaosod. -- 2025-04-22 -

A Night in the Thai Police Station
As a hater of drunk drivers, It sure seems they treated you fairly. Whether you were over the limit or not, your decision to drive even if 2 beers is considered ¨impaired¨. You made the decision to drink and drive and use poor judgement, hope you learned a lesson. -

Food for Thought > A Common Sense vaccine statement and a BS one...
"Anyone", not "everyone". Her four siblings (not three, I made a mistake in my previous post) did not catch pneumonia – though she did – because of a multitude of factors which neither of us know. Portraying her pneumonia infection solely as a consequence of her unvaccinated status is the result, as pointed out previously, of a bias in favour of vaccination. No, it's based purely on the fact that she had measles, which - when severe - can lead to secondary pneumonia. Her siblings were simply fortunate that their illness didn’t escalate to the same extent. That’s not bias; it’s straightforward logical causation. I do acknowledge that the development of secondary pneumonia could have been influenced by other, unknown factors. However, to suggest that without considering the glaringly obvious role measles played is to ignore the proverbial elephant in the room. You are reading and interpreting according to your predisposition to see my posts as conspiratorial. In this case, if you look at the paragraph I wrote, it is grammatically clear that "they" refers to the media: "Which brings us to a fundamental issue: why did the media claim this child died of measles? Because they are pushing a specific viewpoint. If they were pushing for the opposite viewpoint, they would give lots of visibility and credibility to studies such as the one below, which gives credence to the notion that measles spreads among vaccinated people." Why do I find myself inclined to view your posts as conspiratorial? Perhaps it’s because, quite frankly, they often are - apologies if that sounds blunt. You're now accusing media sources that do not report in an anti-vaccination manner of having an agenda, which only reinforces that conspiratorial tone. And of course, measles can still spread among vaccinated individuals - it remains a virus, after all. When someone is exposed to a high viral load, transmission is possible. However, vaccination serves to mitigate this risk, limiting both the severity and the spread. This principle applies to many vaccines. Some argue that if a vaccine doesn’t offer 100% protection, then it’s ineffective. But that entirely misses the point of community or herd immunity, which relies on widespread uptake to shield the vulnerable and reduce overall transmission. This is the point I was making: conversely to the above, if there was an endeavour to demonstrate the opposite stance, it would be done just as compellingly, with no shortage of material to support it. The video below presents a dissenting viewpoint. On a personal note, my own nephew (UK-based) was hospitalised in a critical condition after taking the MMR vaccine (causation acknowledged and vaccine exemption issued by the NHS, though my sister still gets regularly harassed with "encouragements" to jab him), so when Polly Tommey says you can die from it, I know she isn't kidding. Sorry for your nephew, I now understand the reason for your stance - you mentioned causation acknowledged and vaccine exemption issues - is that because of anaphylaxis (an allergy) to some of the vaccine ingredients which then likely means he's allergic to many vaccines.... Or was VITT, febrile seizure or something else ? Yes, when they openly lie it becomes obvious they're peddling misinformation - Brain Hooker meantions VAERS data, then lies in the same sentence - There are not more deaths from MMR vaccine than Measles. A 2003 study of VAERS data over 10 years found: - 55 reports of death after MMR (alone or in combination). - None had confirmed causation directly linked to the vaccine. - Detailed investigations often revealed unrelated medical conditions (e.g., congenital defects, infections, SIDS). I'm neither a pro-vaxxer or an anti-vaxxer - I'm pro-statistics, they tell the truth (the issue there of course is how the stats are collected and reported - nevertheless, in such large numbers the evidence is overwhelmingly in favour of vaccination). Extensive studies and surveillance have found no deaths attributable to the MMR vaccine in healthy individuals. Rare fatalities have occurred among immunocompromised individuals, for whom the vaccine is contraindicated. Historical data from 1979 to 1990 reported 16 deaths following MMR vaccination; however, these instances are exceedingly rare and often involved individuals with underlying health conditions. In 2023, there were an estimated 107,500 measles-related deaths worldwide, predominantly among children under five years old.
