Dozens of people were affected when a tear-gas canister was opened during an explosive-items training exercise at Bangkok's Bang Phlat district office yesterday.

 

The exercise was attended by about 200 city employees and overseen by Group Captain Sompop Pitasen of the Air Force Ordinance Department's explosive ordinance disposal team.

 

District director assistant Sabaitip Thienwattanajinda said that about 40 people were affected, with 14 sent to hospital after having an allergic reaction.

 

She said that after samples were shown to people, someone pulled the canister's safety pin. :dunce:

 

People ran out of the room, while many choked and had a mild eye irritation, she said, adding that the exercise resumed after people were provided with first aid.

On one of the many Chinese TV channels we get here in VTE, there is often shown, military instructors teaching recruits how to use guns and such.

 

One of the common items, is of an instructor lining up the boys in front of targets with pistols. The boys take aim and at this point, the instructor walks in front of them, correcting their grip and so forth. He then moves out of the way and they shoot.

 

I'm waiting..........
