Kerryd Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 2 hours ago, sammieuk1 said: Just watching the shocking scenes right now people running of fire absolute horror show ????Rip Same. People running out the front entrance, the roof has open flame, then reddish smoke comes out the doors, then it turns to thick dark smoke and suddenly "whoosh" - there's a burst of bright yellow flames coming out the door. People can be seen exiting and running around on fire. I was shocked how many just kept running and no one was trying to put out the flames and almost no one was doing the "stop, drop and roll" to put out the flames on themselves. At the end of one video you see a guy standing about 5 feet in front of the person filming and there's a patch of flame on the back of his jacket and he's just standing there unaware and no one is trying to put it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyJ Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 I was shocked to learn that apartments in Thailand are not required to have smoke detectors unless the building has more than 6 floors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Explosions maybe from the deflagration of the used but unfortunately flammable adhesives, or from the bursting of the disco headlights. A tragedy that could have been avoided if more care had been taken with the electrical installations and materials used. RIP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bkk Brian Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 The so called fire exit, photo from a few days before: THAI NEWS REPORTS: According to Channel 3 News, this is what the MountainB pub looked like before the fire that killed thirteen. The red outline is apparently the exit door which seems to be disguised as part of the wall. https://twitter.com/ThaiNewsReports/status/1555364017094668288 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chang_paarp Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 It is near the naval base from what I understand. If any navy personnel are injured or dead there will be repercussions, possibly a real investigation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the gutless media here will be too scared of defamation laws to print names etc. Anyone remember Santika in Bangkok ... Yes, tragically similar to the Santika new years eve disaster. That club was owned by senior police officers, but only the manager was prosecuted. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moncul Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Quote Thailand’s Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has ordered government agencies to conduct safety inspections of entertainment venues following the devastating fire which occurred last night at Mountain B pub on Sukhumvit Road in Sattahip district of Chon Buri province, killing 13 people and injuring at least 41 more. Oh well that's that solved then. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US is not the centre of the Universe. Did I say it was, it was an example of what happens with that kind of insulation.......Did you hear about the fire in Phuket on Bangla which happened years ago or not, or even the fire years ago in Bangkok, all the same style of fire, and same type of exits being blocked......It has nothing to do with being the center of the Universe as you say, it is about tragedy's occurring over and over again and in the same style.....get ahold of yourself my man. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billd766 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 4 hours ago, ThailandRyan said: Ah yes the Tiger Club fire on Bangla, yes I forgot about that one. In this one apparently the rear door was also locked according to this mornings Channel 32 news, which is a big issue as there was only one way in and out. The downside of having 2 doors open is that the fire will get fed twice as much oxygen and then burn twice as quickly. My mate who was a fireman in the UK got a good show for saving the guy above him on the ladder. It seems as though the onsite fire commander ordered the front doors of the building to be opened against the firecrews advice. This caused a fireball to blow out of the window between my mate and the guy above him using the hose. The guy dropped the hose and was falling when my mate saved him, but my mate buggered his back so badly he was eventually medically discharged from the fire service. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
