Fallen Tree Narrowly Misses Prayuth's Car

[NongKhaiKid]

i wonder if he'll consult his fortune teller as for many here that would be a bad omen.

How can a fallen tree miss anything? Its mission in life is to be a fallen tree. I suppose it might miss parties and birthdays, even cavalcades.

The trees are not happy. We need to bring happiness back to the trees. But first, the trees must be sent for some attitude adjustment.

This sappy story's bark is worse than it's bite. It has obvious roots in the national debate, and shows a branching of karma and event. No one was injured. We should leaf this one alone. It's seedy and nuts.

[jigagee]

Was it a coup-canut tree ?

Jatuporn seen with a chainsaw in the neighborhood??

[The manic]

I hope they returned the chainsaw!

[toybits]

Must take that tree for and interview and immediate re-education....

[wabothai]

A very high coptree or luat tree, they do catch a lot of wind.

[wabothai]

Thank you all for a late afternoon giggle.

Bangkok Planetarium. 55, I think I went there once!

Near miss for PM Prayuth as falling tree hits motorcycle escort
By Digital Content



BANGKOK, Dec 17 -- Two Army soldiers were slightly injured this morning when a large branch fell onto the motorcade of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-o-cha in Sukhumvit Road.

The incident took at about 10am as the prime minister traveled to Government House from Bangkok Planetarium, where he had presided at the opening of a renovated Science Centre for Education.

The branch hit two soldiers on a motorcycle escorting the prime minister’s procession. The two were knocked to the pavement from their bike and skidded along the road for 10 metres.

Both men were sent to a nearby hospital for treatment, one with a sprained right wrist and the other with an injury on his right hip.

The branch barely missed the Mercedez carrying Gen Prayut.

After stopping to ask after the condition of both soldiers and ordering the authorities to provide good care of them, the premier and his motorcade then carried on with the journey to Government House.

The chief of the prime minister’s guard detail asserted that the incident was an accident. (MCOT online news)

He obviously wasn't wearing his amulets!

Following its attack on our Dear PM, the tree is now in custody and will be charged with treeson...

[BirdsandBooze]

The PM's official astrologer and tarot reader will have some explaining to do on why they failed to predict this event.

My mistake ... he obviously WAS wearing his amulets!!

I heard him say....."Well, I don't need two trees to fall on me".

Do you need to axe? Blame the CIA....?

[The manic]

Inflammatory posts have been removed.

[lensta]

What a shame it missed.

[slipperylobster]

George Washington would have owned up to the event.

Blame the Americans...everyone else does.

Trees don't just fall for no reason. Maybe strong winds in Bangkok today, no I doubt it. Must have been a Redwood Tree.

In southern Isaan we have very strong vind´s today, so could Bangkok.

There's no wind at all in BKK today, perfect weather 27 degree's. And big tree's are also very rare in BKK.

[greenchair]

I just twigged, the car being jammed under a treesin might be the root of the problem. Perhaps phrayut should branch out a little.

I am older enough to understand this and find it amusing.
