Truck carrying gas tanks overturns in Bang Na

By The Nation

BANGKOK: -- A pick-up truck carrying 34 cooking gas tanks overturned yesterday afternoon on Bang Na-Trat Road in Bangkok's Bang Na district.

No-one was injured but the accident caused a 5km-long traffic jam on the inner inbound lane below the Sri Eium intersection flyover.

Police and rescue workers rushed to the scene, where a green Isuzu truck turned over at 2pm, to move 28 small tanks and six big tanks from the roadside and ensure all gas valves were tightly secured. It took 20 minutes to clear the scene.

Driver Somporn Kavina said he drove from a gas shop in Samut Prakan's Bang Phli district at around 80kmph when a rear left tyre suddenly exploded, causing the truck to overturn.

i really like this driving Car Bombs .... well okay the chance a bottle explode is almost by zero ... but knowing the power which travels along is quite exiting :)

3 or 4 years ago just North of Brisbane, Australia, an accident like this happened. The truck caught fire and the large LPG cylinders were exploding like bombs.

It was on a 4 or 6-lane highway and people in both directions were abandoning their cars and running. So sometimes it IS like in the movies !

In September 1990 a truck carrying large LPG tanks crashed on New Petchaburi Road in Bangkok. 60 ~ 90 people died, many inside vehicles. Still not as bad as the dynamite truck explosion in Phang Nga in 1991, death toll 170 ~ 200.
