Fire in Condo Parking Garage in Chokchai 4, Damages Pickup Truck and Two Cars
A fire broke out early morning on November 15, in the parking garage of a condominium complex in Bangkok’s Chokchai 4 neighbourhood, leaving a pickup truck almost destroyed and two nearby cars damaged. The blaze is suspected to have originated from a pile of garbage near the vehicles. At approximately 00:10 officers from the Chokchai Police Station received a report of a vehicle fire at a condominium on Soi Chokchai 4, Soi 37, Lane 5, in the Lat Phrao district. Firefighters and rescue units from Lat Phrao, along with fire trucks were immediately dispatched to the scene. Upon arrival, emergency responders discovered a substantial blaze in the parking area beneath the building. The flames had started in a pile of trash and quickly spread to a nearby Toyota, petrol engine pickup truck. Firefighters worked swiftly, and the fire was brought under control within 30 minutes. However, by that time, the pickup truck suffered serious damage by the flames, and two other cars, a Toyota and Honda, parked nearby had sustained fire and heat damage. Additionally, the flames had also damaged an air-conditioning compressor unit of an apartment, above the parking area. Preliminary investigations suggest that the fire began in the garbage pile, which ignited and spread to the parked vehicles. Authorities are continuing their inquiry and intend to question the pickup truck’s owner to better understand the circumstances leading to the incident. Pictures from responders. -- 2024-11-15 -

Official: Trump Nominates RFK Jr. for Health Secretary
President elect Donald Trump has selected Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as his pick for the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). Kennedy, commonly referred to as RFK Jr., comes from a prominent Democratic family; he is the son of former U.S. Attorney General and Senator Robert F. Kennedy and the nephew of President John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1963. Despite his political heritage, RFK Jr. is known for his unconventional positions, notably his skepticism towards vaccines and various mainstream health initiatives, which he has advocated against in his career as an environmental lawyer. At 70, Kennedy recently ran for president as an independent candidate, after initially attempting a Democratic primary bid. His campaign was notable for its bold stances and media scrutiny. Among the more unusual stories from his past, he recounted dumping a dead bear cub in New York's Central Park in 2014 after it was struck by a car. Another incident involved him allegedly sawing off the head of a dead whale he found beached, intending to transport it on his car roof. Kennedy’s campaign, however, faced substantial challenges, and he eventually suspended it in favor of endorsing Trump for president in August. He attributed his lack of success to censorship from the media and opposition within the Democratic Party, which he believes attempted to stifle his run. In his endorsement, Kennedy promised to "Make America healthy again" under Trump's administration. If confirmed by the Senate, RFK Jr. would assume leadership of the Department of Health and Human Services, an agency charged with safeguarding Americans' health and providing essential services, particularly for vulnerable populations. The health secretary plays a critical role as the president’s top advisor on health, welfare, and income security programs and oversees critical areas, including health research, disease prevention, and food and drug safety. The department also supervises 11 agencies, such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The FDA is responsible for food labeling and drug approvals, while the CDC leads in managing and preventing disease outbreaks. Kennedy’s views on public health and medical science, which have historically diverged from those of the CDC and FDA, could introduce significant shifts in how these agencies operate. Trump expressed strong support for Kennedy’s nomination in his official statement, which underscored Kennedy’s potential to reshape HHS. Trump said, “I am thrilled to announce Robert F. Kennedy Jr as The United States Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health.” Trump’s statement further reflected his confidence in Kennedy’s vision: “The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country.” He concluded with optimism about the potential changes Kennedy could bring, adding, “Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!” The nomination of RFK Jr., an outspoken critic of some government health policies, as head of HHS marks a significant shift. His selection has prompted discussions about the future direction of U.S. public health, with supporters praising his dedication to transparency and critics questioning how his unconventional views might shape HHS policies.
