Eric Loh Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Shouldn't they be heading north than south if they are red shirts? It's getting more absurd by the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soupdragon Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 It appears the one in BKK was an accident involving military personnel trying to free a grenade jammed in a launcher. Not a device planted for malicious reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a device planted for malicious reasons. Yes after they rolled out the standard "it was a transformer" then they say they were trying to free an RPG from a tube.. DOH..
