Jeju Air Flight from Bangkok Skids Off Runway at Muan Airport, 28 Dead
The 737 has 60 minutes of backup electrical power, supplied by 2 main system batteries. The the event that all fuel is lost, for both engines and the APU, there is an hours worth of electrical power to run all the electrical systems. The battery people are talking about in the news is something separate when the aircraft breaks up or is at the bottom of the ocean. That battery is there to run the pinger and is not relevant to an intact aircraft. -

Respected Farmer and Agricultural Leader Shot Dead in Phatthalung
Picture from responders. A 72-year-old man, a highly respected agricultural leader in Phatthalung, was fatally shot in an attack on a rural road in Khuan Khanun district. Police are investigating the incident and suspect the motive may be linked to a recent drug-related arrest in the area. The victim, identified as Mr. Phob, was the owner of a prominent agricultural learning centre and a salak orchard. He was also recognised as an outstanding farmer in Khuan Khanun district. The attack occurred on Soi Bo Pla in Ban Khuan Tin, Moo 5, Pantae subdistrict. Police, led by Pol. Lt. Col. Wichai Amphun, investigator at Khuan Khanun Police Station, and Pol. Lt. Col. Hanphon Ramduang, deputy superintendent of investigations, were alerted at 18:30. When officers arrived, they found only a pool of blood at the scene. Mr. Phob had already been rushed to Khuan Khanun Hospital but succumbed to his injuries shortly after due to six gunshot wounds to his torso, back, neck, and hand. According to preliminary investigations, locals reported hearing six gunshots but initially mistook the sounds for firecrackers. Concerned when her husband did not return home, the victim’s wife went to look for him and discovered him lying unconscious in a pool of blood on the road leading to his orchard. His motorcycle with a sidecar was found nearby, bearing bullet damage to its rearview mirror. Neighbours assisted in transporting him to the hospital. Mr. Phob was described as a hardworking, kind individual who had no known conflicts with anyone. However, police suspect the shooting may be related to an earlier arrest of a local man for drug and firearm offences. Authorities believe the suspect may have blamed Mr. Phob for tipping off the police. The individual in question has since fled the village, and police are actively pursuing leads to locate and apprehend him. The investigation continues, with police determined to bring the perpetrator to justice. -- 2025-01-12 -

Worker Falls 10 Metres into Underground Electric Cable Construction Shaft
Picture from responders. A worker involved in an underground electric cable installation project was critically injured after falling 10 metres into a large construction shaft, in Nonthaburi Province during the early hours of the morning of January 11. At approximately 04:30, officers from Muang Nonthaburi Police Station received a report of the incident, which occurred at the construction site near Soi Tiwanon 10, Tiwanon Road, Talat Khwan Subdistrict, Mueang District. Rescue teams from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation were dispatched to the scene to assist with the emergency. The site, part of an ongoing underground power line installation project, had exposed shafts, with concrete slabs removed to allow workers to access the shaft. According to reports, the incident occurred as the team was preparing to wrap up their work, which had been underway from 22.00 the previous evening until 05.00. The injured worker, identified as Mr. Lae, 30, a Cambodian national, was found at the bottom of the 10-metre-deep shaft. He reportedly sustained injuries from the impact with the shaft floor. Fellow workers had descended to check on his condition while awaiting assistance. Rescue personnel, assisted by construction workers, utilised a crane and a rescue basket stretcher, to extract the injured man. The rescue operation lasted approximately 30 minutes. First aid was administered at the scene before the worker was transported to a nearby hospital for further treatment. A co-worker revealed that the incident occurred as Mr. Lae accidentally stepped back and fell into the shaft while helping to lift a concrete slab into place to restore the road surface. The incident is under investigation. -- 2025-01-12 -

Fire Claims Lives of Prominent Suphan Buri Politician and Family
Pictures from responders. A devastating fire engulfed a three-storey building in Suphan Buri early morning on January 11, killing four members of a prominent local politician’s family, including two children. The fire broke out at a property on Phra Phanwasa Road in Tha Phi Liang Subdistrict, Muang District. The building served as both a residence and a shop selling electrical and mechanical tools. Firefighters and emergency responders rushed to the scene after receiving the report. Efforts to control the blaze were immediately undertaken. Preliminary reports indicated that four people were inside the building at the time of the fire. Tragically, despite rescue attempts, none of the occupants survived. The victims have been identified as Mr. Phusit Rungrorchaiyaporn, 52, a well-known member of the Provincial Administrative Organisation (PAO) for District 1, Suphan Buri; his wife, Mrs. Kanokwan Rungrorchaiyaporn, 49; their son, Mr. Thirawat Rungrorchaiyaporn, 26; and their daughter, Ms. Warasiri Rungrorchaiyaporn, 24. Initial findings suggest the victims were trapped as the fire rapidly spread through the building. Emergency personnel recovered one body near the staircase on the second floor, with three others found on the third floor. Witnesses reported thick smoke billowing from the structure, hindering initial rescue attempts. Firefighters managed to bring the blaze under control, but the building was severely damaged. Authorities are now investigating the cause of the fire. -- 2025-01-12 -
