The area of the explosions has been the site of a tense standoff between Red Shirt protesters, who are demanding Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva resign, and armed troops over the past several days...

Stickman Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Just came back from under the Sala Daeng station. Heaps of troops there at the moment. At the Silom / Rama 4 intersection there were major scuffles and noises that were scary. I got within about 60 metres and turned back...too scary for me.

LizardKing Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Good raw footage, just moments after the attack, from French TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USVirgin Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Wow! I'm surprised Sala Daeng station was open. I thought earlier reports said it was shut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizardKing Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 They closed the stations after the attack. Yesterday I wandered about down there and all BTS stations were open, even Rachadamri. Same for MRT stations. Only thing not open was the skywalk from Silom MRT station (at Rama IV) to the Sala Daeng BTS station (at soi Convent) Only difference from usual was that the guards were actually looking inside everyone's bags.

USVirgin Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 OK, thanks, it was only the walkway - that's what I misunderstood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shygye Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Did the grenades explode on the roof or did they punch through and then explode on the platform? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
