webfact Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Illegal foreigners "nearly barbecued" as they were being deported Caption: Fifty three escaped being barbecued Daily News reported that 53 illegal migrants from Myanmar were lucky to escape death when their double-decker bus was engulfed in flames on the way to Mae Sot, Tak in Thailand's north west. The migrants had all entered Thailand illegally and were being deported on an immigration chartered bus. Captain Rewat Iamtak of the Mae Sot police and Mae Thor rescue and fire services responded to put out the blaze - they were helped by drizzle in the area at the time on Sunday. All escaped unharmed though the vehicle was gutted. The migrants had driver Maraphee Sulong, 50, to thank after he noticed fire under his vehicle and ordered a roadside evacuation. Daily News said in their headline that the migrants were "nearly barbecued like chicken".

Crossy Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 At least it makes a change from brake failure. Or was the conflagration caused by overheating brakes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckamuck Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 It was all because of a typo. The police report said they were to be departed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matzzon Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Due to taxi guys taking you anywhere or refuse to use meter or drvie you to a certain destionation, that´s out of the question. Minivan drivers are the definition of a death trap. That´s out of the question. Now, buses are starting to engulf in flames more often, maybe time to stop that option too. See, soon everybody have a reason to be on overstay, out of the reason that common transportation might lead to death or worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, soon everybody have a reason to be on overstay, out of the reason that common transportation might lead to death or worse. It will remain the motorbike, the bike ( MTBike or road bike ) and of course the walk .. Every day, one or more coaches quite destroyed after breaking the brakes, which can not exist on a truck vehicle but thai knows nothing about physics ... it will continue; or bus on fire or resembling a compression of Cesar, I tell myself that maybe in a hundred years - let's be realistic - we will finally have in Thailand coaches not dating from the era of the cut stone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
