Oops! "More than 100" energy drinks bottles all over a bend in Ayutthaya!

 

 

Thai Rath reported that a well known energy drinks firm's truck deposited all its cargo of empty bottles on the bend of a slip road in Ayutthaya yesterday. 

 

Though they didn't name the firm they said that there were "more than 100" bottles. "Gern roi" is an advertising slogan for the M150 high caffeine, energy drink firm. 

 

The slip road in Wang Noi district was closed for two hours while the authorities cleared up the mess from what was in reality 160,000 bottles. 

 

Driver Khathawut Ketthanee, 33, from Khon Kaen said he was transporting a load from Rama 2 to the factory in Ayutthaya when ropes securing 40 wooden pallets came loose. 

 

He contacted the insurance company saying that damage was in the region of 320,000 baht. 

 

He is also helping the cops with their inquiries. 

 

It was not reported if the fine was "more than 100" baht......

Normally I'd be there like a shot to see what I could scavenge, but I know I wouldn't have the energy to get the tops off those bottles...

It looks like the driver bottled it.

So this time it's "Rope failure", nice change from Brake failure.

Could have been worse for his career prospects had they been full.

Another case of read carefully.

Quickly browsing over the text I was wondering why 160'000 bottles make a damage of only 320'000 Baht

And it's factory new bottles, not recycled.

"Rope failure" can happen anywhere, in any Country..

 

Been watching 'Outback Truckers' on TV every week,  the chains/straps/Rope failure appear to be very common in Australia......  OK is the outback + Road Trains and or Oversized...

My all time favorite Thai "rope failure":

Rumor is around the driver wasn't too successful in his former job, and the employer even refused to give him the part of the buffalo:

Read closely "empty bottles". Not much to drink there.
