As they are charred, I´ve heard they will use Carbon-14 method to establish the age.

Very funny. The van was from my mother-in-law’s village. These were real people with husbands, wives, children, mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters.

The ill-fated vehicle has both mandatory and voluntary insurance. The compensation for each dead victim is 1.1 million baht in total and 1.35 million baht for the driver, killed in the accident. (TNA)

 

Interesting that the driver's family gets a higher insurance payout than those of the passengers he killed.

Ok, I agree. You better go tell the van drivers that fact as well.

The driver was also a victim and he didn't kill anyone.

Single vehicle crash is usually the driver's fault, so ....

Just reading the other day about yet ANOTHER vehicle crossing the median into oncoming traffic and causing carnage among the innocent, so...

Really ??....     people can usually see a line for this stuff....  Are you that ‘odd’ that you can’t see where this line is and cross it with such a crass attempt at humour ???

It was the medians fault for jumping out in front of the van ???  

 

 

Of course, it may not have been the drivers fault... he could have had a blowout on the perfectly road legal tyre of his well maintained vehicle....   

 

But... perhaps unfairly, I’ll speculate with the more realistic and perhaps commonly used excuse of lap-nai.....

Been here a while then richard?

 

In Bangkok I mean?

What a horrible accident. So sad. Since no one here knows what really happened it might be wise to hold off on blaming the driver. It could have been a mechanical failure or maybe one of the occupants distracted him. It's probably just best to pray for the grieving families.

Are you a doctor? Doesn´t look like that on your profile picture.

Never asked you to laugh. Neither to show interest for something that bothers you so much.

Troll post reported and removed.
