Fascinating, the workings of the Thai mind.

The workings of the what...........???

Its okay by the time they charge him he will be in Laos with the monk and the red bull son laughing at thailand.

If you included the story of scrap metal dealers going at a 500 pound bomb with a blow torch in a list of Darwin awards, people would laugh like hell but not believe it was a true story.

Same with the scrap dealers who prised open a lead lined chest with radioactive warnings on it to get at the plutonium rods inside that had been carelessly thrown in the garbage by a Bkk hospital.

It seems that whenever the bomb landed, somebody just buried it.

No consideration for anybody in the future.

Unlikely to have been buried on purpose. A surprisingly high proportion of bombs dropped from aircraft hit the ground without detonating. So if a 500lb object hits soft ground at full speed, it will bury itself. Left there for posterity to discover. There are most likely thousands of UXBs in major cities all around the world, especially Europe after WW2. Having lived in London I know from experience they are unearthed on a regular basis. Difference is, London scrap dealers don't try to cut them open with an oxyacetylene cutters! TiT

Thanks for clarifying that. It would seem that the ground would be effected in some way because you've displaced some.
