luther Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Any news on this? Flames were leaping out one of the windows and smoke pouring out many others as drivers were diverted away from the moat about 11:00 this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiangMaiMail Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 It was just a practice drill put on by the City in conjunction with rescue, hospitals and the fire department. They also had a practice rescue drill with rescuing people in the moat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinnieTheKhwai Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 If you practice you got to make it look real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I reported the same thing one time and it turned out to be a drill that time too. I don't know how they do the flames so it looks real, but they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiangMaiMail Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Yes, it was a drill, we received a Press Release from the Municipality regarding the entire thing, not just for fire but for rescue as well. I guess they want to make it as real as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paagai Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 If it was Chinese New Year rather than Thai New Year you could be forgiven for thinking they were burning it down for the insurance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elektrified Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Didn't know what was going on when I passed by Thapae at 16:00 today. There must have been 100 police, 50 soldiers in combat gear, ambulances, fire trucks, divers, etc. I asked a policeman what was going on and he shouted at me to keep driving. Looked like it was over for C.M. A drill...that explains it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
