Pigeons were said to have caused a sudden explosion that led to a fire engulfing a hotel room in Hua Hin, resulting in damages amounting to half a million baht.

 

On Thursday afternoon Lieutenant Colonel Pichcha Rangleuan, Deputy Superintendent of Hua Hin Police Station received a report regarding a fire incident at room number 164/5-6 of Sunny House, which is located adjacent to the railway, just off Soi 70.

 

The three and half storey building consists of a ground floor office and more than 20 guest bedrooms.

 

On arrival at the scene, first responders found the building engulfed in flames.

It was the PiRA. (Pigeon Republican Army). 

If an 'engulfing' fire only caused 500K baht in damage, the pigeons must have been the guests.

 

Five star it couldn't have been.

Obviously they will tell the pigeons to pay for the damage. 

Technically possible. 

 

Pigeon excretion contains "Saltpeter", one of the 3 ingredients needed to make gunpowder. So if they could muster some charcoal  say from an open wood burning fire and Sulphur, say from some match heads or concrete powder,  mix them together and chuck a lit match onto the mixture, then, booooooom.

And most pigeons carry lighter or matches......

I don't know about explosion, unless something stored where they hang out.   But fire ... yes.  Imagine a nest built over an electrical junction, and or any exposed wires.

 

"Pigeons build nests far from predators, so they may build them on rooftops or even chimneys. Nesting materials like twigs, grass clippings, straws, etc., are extremely flammable so they can quickly catch fire. Moreover, the fire can be worse if the area is full of bird droppings as bird droppings are also flammable."

BOOM

Yep, they make their own.

I am sure the pigeons will be blamed with micro-sleep or perhaps brake failure.

What do you say to a bunch of pigeons that set your place on fire?     You are all  A bird-en

 

Those pigeons came in mass because one pigeon in the fire yelled "Hot Chicks!"

If it comes to court, the beak will surely chuck out the case.

Last year after a quick downpour a pigeon flew to land on a transformer outside my home... a very large explosion, power out and one very crispy pigeon.

Well the story says this, so maybe it is pure speculation on how it occurred.

 

The investigation into this peculiar incident led authorities to a peculiar discovery – a pair of pigeons had unknowingly triggered the explosion.

The exact details of how this occurred are yet to be determined. Authorities are currently working to gather more information and piece together the sequence of events that led to the pigeon’s inadvertent role in this incident.

Suicide bird. Flew in from the Middle East with an incendiary device strapprd to its breast.

I think the song by Tom Lehrer 'Poisoning Pigeons in the Park' would be most....

Ah, forgot about that one. Only Pigeon song I could remember was the 1977 No 14 chart-topper in the UK charts by Messrs Banks, Rutherford and Colins, aka Genesis.

 

I always said it: these pigeons are up to no good. They are lazy and dirty and their bad temper makes them explode for no reason!
