Briggsy Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I love it how the vehicle at fault always becomes the subject of a verb in the active voice in these articles. It absolves the human participants of any blame in the chain of events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It absolves the human participants of any blame in the chain of events. Ha! ha! ha! nicely put, on the serious side the question is why are they using a chain to tow something as large & heavy as a bus, surely it should be a solid tow bar with a suspended tow connected to a proper tow truck,- it's called "Safety First".

Narratio Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 A 'slope' near the intersection of Chitlom and Petchburi? I wonder what the definition of 'slope' is. I've gone through it many times and I'm pretty sure it is flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
