snoop1130 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 200 chickens burned alive as truck catches fire in Chon Buri By The Nation A trailer truck transporting chickens to slaughter caught fire on a Chon Buri road on Wednesday morning, burning alive some 200 birds trapped in plastic crates, police said. The accident happened at 6am on the Bangkok-bound Chon Buri bypass road in Tambon Ban Suan in Muang district. Firefighters took about an hour to put out the blaze, while the approximately 4,500 chickens aboard cried out loudly in apparent fright of the fire. The truck driver, Jakkaphan Jomrat, 27, said he was transporting the chicken from a farm in Chon Buri’s Ban Pho district to a food processing factory in Bangkok when its right rear brake got stuck. He said he stopped on the roadside to try to fix the brake, but a fire broke out.

I don't suppose he had been riding on the brakes for the last twenty miles or so, by any chance to get them so hot? Amazing that normally the brakes don't work at all, while here they work too well. Perhaps the driver should take it as a message from the Gods, that he isn't meant to drive for a living. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickens aren't that stupid then. I somehow suspect if I was trapped and was watching my mates get burnt to death around me, I would be crying out quite loudly from serious fright too.

ratcatcher Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 A truckload of hot chicks? My condolences to the families of the dead birds. Fowl play is not suspected. I imagine by the time they got that truck's brakes and tires changed another few hundred had succumbed. Well, they were going to die anyway, I suppose.

wisperone Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Why spend money on truck maintenance. I imagine the farmer is going to eat the loss of those chickens. Unfortunate for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TumblinDice Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 You TV posters attempts at humor are pathetic. 200 trapped birds were burned alive & your making lame ass jokes that aren't even funny.

Losing 200 chickens is.......chicken feed. I actually don't understand this expression as chicken feed is <deleted> expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
