Georgealbert Posted May 23 Author Share Posted May 23 (edited) It is now being reported that this involved an acetylene cylinder, which seems more likely as the area was closed down for most of the day. This had the potential for a lot more damage and think the neighboring properties were lucky, as the premises had no permission to operate and 71 cylindrrs were found in the building. 37 oxygen, 16 carbon dioxide and 18 acetylene. https://www.thaipbs.or.th/news/content/340314 Edited May 23 by Georgealbert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
