yes ... I would say that's possibly what happen ...

Why would you say that when the probable cause was described in the link?

One of the joys of local journalism.

One of the joys of Thaivisa responses...not bothering to read the link, just Thai-bash.

"16-year-old Thai-British teen flees house by leaping off second floor balcony"

 

You can probably mention in the headline that the place was on fire. Kind of important point (far more important than his exact age, in fact).

Quality reporting.....

No, quality headline re-writing, the actual article did state that he was escaping a fire.

First floor, second floor......I have no doubt his Dad drives a "sedan" as well.

Doesn't matter if the article states it, the headline should accurately reflect what has happened. "16-year-old teen" is completely redundant, as all 16-year-olds are teens. Him escaping a fire is, however, not redundant.

 

"Thai-British teen flees house fire by leaping off second floor balcony" would've been the correct headline.

Cause of the fire? Condition of the teen?  Any other occupants or neighbors affected? Final damages--only that sofa?

He was toking a newly legal dooby & passed out. Seems obvious.

 

I got chased out of my girlfriend's 2nd story room once by her father, which is what I figured this was about.

 

No biggie, just par for course at that age. Gotta jump, then JUMP!

Better complain to the "News Team", then, they're the ones who altered it from the original (linked) which was accurate.

That's what I was doing... Notice how we are commenting on Asean Now, rather than the website of the linked article?

The linked website's headline was accurate, that's why we're not commenting on its headline.

Are you having a stroke or something?

 

The headline on this website left out important information while including pointless information. Period. That's it. What the original headline says on another site doesn't apply for people reading the article here.

This suggests a rare case in which someone learned to write before they could read
