webfact Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Picture: Daily News A scene of utter carnage faced Khiansa police, firemen and rescue services in Surat Thani in southern Thailand yesterday after a collision and resulting fire left three dead and one injured. Daily News called it "theung khaat" - when your number's up, it's up. Two trucks carrying wood had stopped on Route 44, the road to Krabi from Surat Thani. The lead driver had got out to discuss the way with the second driver when a truck carrying car tires plowed into the back. Picture: Daily News It took fire services an hour to get the blaze under control. Rittipong, 21, a passenger in the tire truck, and Wirawat, 47, an 18 wheeler driver, were dead at the scene. Decha, 44, a driver of one of the timber trucks died on the way to hospital. Pornphiphat, 58, the driver of the tire truck was injured and now is in police custody in hospital. He managed to flee his cab in time. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-06-16 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched a program on aircraft fires and the interviewer said ....but in a fire so fierce they must be unconscious in seconds......the scientist (assuming he knew what he was talking about) said no.......conscious for up to 90 seconds....and those 90 seconds would last a lifetime....switched off at that point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priority?.....a contagious disease that is mutating and could yet kill thousands (and may well have done without the previous steps taken)...........that is my guess. Car crashes are not contagious......although I would wholeheartedly support action to reduce their numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
