fruitman Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I would like to see a picture of that tire. I bet it wasn't a brand new one from a good brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaltsc Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 (edited) "A Rayong-Nakhon Ratchasima bus’s tyre burst and caused it to flip..." I still can't figure out how something like this can happen. Especially after reading how the government has "promised" to implement newer safety regulations and inspections of motor vehicles. Must have been an invisible internal flaw. Since we all know how the operators of mass transportation always adhere to safety standards. Edited June 12, 2017 by jaltsc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
