Veteran Mechanic Killed After Car Jack Collapses While Repairing Vehicle
Picture from responders. An incident has claimed the life of a 72-year-old retired mechanic who was working underneath a car outside his home in Taling Chan, Bangkok, when the jack supporting the vehicle collapsed. The man, who had often carried out repairs on the same car, was found dead under the vehicle late evening on 17 April. At approximately 22:00, Lieutenant Atchai Nuimat, a duty investigator from Taling Chan Police Station, received reports of the incident on Chaiyaphruek Road. He responded to the scene along with forensic officers from Siriraj Hospital and rescue workers from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation. Upon arrival, emergency responders found the deceased man pinned beneath a blue Ford car, registration number from Nonthaburi. The right front wheel had been removed, and the vehicle was resting precariously. Rescue personnel had to use cutting and lifting equipment to extract the body from beneath the car. The victim had suffered injuries to both his head and body. His 47-year-old wife told officers that her husband, a former car mechanic, regularly worked on the vehicle outside their home. She would usually sit nearby to assist him, especially considering his age. She said she had warned him several times about the risks of using the jack improperly, fearing that it might one day collapse. The incident occurred while no one else was around, and the man remained trapped for an extended period before being discovered. The body has been sent for a post-mortem examination at Siriraj Hospital, and police are continuing their investigation. The family has been left devastated, with his wife and children visibly distraught at the scene. -- 2025-04-17 -

Swedish Man Sparks Airport Bomb Alert with Unclaimed Luggage
Pictures courtesy of Daily News A Swedish man inadvertently caused a security scare at Udon Thani airport by leaving a suitcase containing explosive ingredients. Authorities quickly apprehended him at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport. On 17th April, Udon Thani International Airport officials were alerted by 58-year-old Swedish passenger Mr Erik, who boarded an Air Asia flight to Suvarnabhumi but left a suitcase behind. Initial checks on the suitcase detected suspicious materials, prompting a coordinated response from related authorities. Officials reached out to Udon Thani police, Air Force units, and immigration officers for assistance. The unclaimed suitcase was found at Terminal 2. Surveillance footage identified it as belonging to the Swedish passenger already en route to Bangkok. When contacted, Mr Erik was uncooperative, resulting in his temporary detention for investigation. Advanced detection equipment screened the suitcase, revealing traces of triacetone triperoxide (TATP), a potential explosive precursor. Security measures, including deploying K9 units and bomb containment units, were implemented as a precaution. The airport was temporarily closed for safety while operations ensured no passengers were endangered. EOD specialists from the Air Force took 30 minutes to confirm the absence of hazardous materials. Mr Erik later admitted the suitcase was his, packed by a friend, and contained used clothes and Thai herbs for personal use. Upon inspection, the bag was found to contain only personal items and dried herbs like butterfly pea flowers and bael fruit. Udon Thani airport director, Ms Thippawan, confirmed that standard international security protocols were followed using state-of-the-art equipment, ensuring passenger safety with minimal disruption. She indicated the false alarm could stem from accidental chemical contamination, possibly from environments where explosives were handled or displayed. Overall, the incident highlights the effectiveness of modern security measures and the importance of vigilance around suspicious items in airports. Based on a story by Daily News -- 2025-04-18 -
