It featured what they said was a "miracle escape" for a woman who had her car crushed front and back. It happened in the area of Wat Singh in Sam Khok district of Pathum Thani, central Thailand. The 43 year old woman named as Khwanruthai was in the first car hit in the pile-up, a Toyota Vios. Picture: Daily News She said that she wasn't wearing an amulet- there were plenty in the car already! She suffered only a minor leg injury and was simply able to walk out. The trucker responsible, Chalerm, 52, said he had been carrying earth to Khukhot and was returning to Sena in Ayutthaya. He hit the other vehicles at the red light after his brakes failed to stop him. The Sam Khok police are investigating.

The crush zones did exactly what they were meant to do - altho' I wouldnt have wanted to be in the back seat. But with that scale of hit it is amazing. Front doors hardly buckled. Wonder what would have happened if that was an EV ? Probably still be trying to put out the fire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, of course not! It's a miracle! A Buddhist amulet! Nothing to do with engineering that kept that car intact around the bodies of the people sitting in it. Just a miracle because the Buddha decided he'd intervene in this one situation, whereas he's often busy when others die. Or I guess she quickly looked up her Karma score and realized she had enough points to make it through this one. Just absurdity piled upon absurdity. So glad I didn't follow my father into the healthcare field. Having these idiots stand around a patient's bed praising Jeebus for saving their loved one after I pulled a 24-hour shift to keep them alive would <deleted> me off to the point of crucifixion of the celebrants.
