Scott Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 How tragic. My condolences. Korea has been making it in the news for some unpleasant events, first the ferry disaster and now this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smileydude Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Sad but proof that no country is immune to tragic loss of life no matter how advanced it is. As per Korean culture, some heads will have to roll to accept responsibility, unfortunately a very foreign concept to Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
