Elkski Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Tragic. Why doesn't the article state something about where they were gathered? Under a metal non grounded structure? Sitting on damp ground? Facts like this may help prevent this in the future. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worldfun Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 a typical rural house in developing country such as thailand or cambodia may not offer much protection as could be thin wood. in a vehicle (metal) would be safe though. yes sad & tragic accidents happen but on a low scale like this. odds are slim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
