KimDidMeGood Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Sala Daeng grenades proven to be shot from Chulalongkorn Hospital BANGKOK, 5 May 2010 (NNT) – M79 grenade attacks at Sala Daeng Intersection on 22 April 2010 have been proven to be shot from Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, according to the Central Institute of Forensic Science Director, Khunying MD Pornthip Rojanasunan. The director stated that M79 grenades against protestors of the Alliance of Patriots that day could have been launched from either the seventh or the eighth floor of King Bhumibol Building in Chulalongkorn Hospital based on traces and damages found at the scene. Khunying MD Pornthip added that nitrate, a compound of the grenade, was found at both the seventh and the eighth floor of the building while a bullet hole was also found on the outside mirror of the women’s restroom on the eighth floor. The director however could not conclude if the grenade attacks at BTS Sala Daeng station and in front of Bank of Ayudhya near Dusit Hotel were instigated by the same perpetrators or not due to different projectile directions. Khunying MD Pornthip reasoned that all CCTVs inside King Bhumibol Building inside the hospital were damaged, and therefore no traces of the unrest perpetrators could be tracked.

Old Hippie Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 If so/true it sort of proves or maybe justifies the redshirt action? Old Pornthip better be careful...wasn't a very important guy in CH when this all happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drogon Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 MIB, Men In Brown/BIB: Boys In Black/MIW:Men In White and so on...I feel less evil being interested in STG:Sexy Thai Girls. Even if this is true -> This is a lame scenario -> Men In Black firing from the hospital -> RS:Red Shirts, who are for justice, peace and democracy of course have to react -> invade the hospital (days later) to find the bad guys.... I (in a Western hospital where people are a bit more serious than in Thailand), had a quite long fuck session (sadly not with a beautiful nurse but with my girlfriend) and it went undisturbed -> so people really wanting to fire an M79 would have no trouble finding a nice spot and then leaving the scene. Suthep is at the same level as the reds, still I believe the mysterious gunners are seriously trained military working for someone who has some interest to see the reds succeed. (I don't say these bad guys are reds or even known among the reds) Limited terrorist acts (if you want to really damage the Thais and foreigners then just put some military grade bombs at a few crowded places) during a chaotic situation = find who benefits from the crime thus from the chaos.... Surely not the PM and most others from the government (although there may be some 'fake allies') Enough of my rant, this is not my country so I can't care too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaronTT Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Wait!?!?!?!? A few days ago, didn't she say that they were fired from about 4 different locations, the locations she listed were behind the red lines? I quickly now tried to find the news articles... maybe someone else can. I found this statement.... "A parallel investigation, also led by Pornthip, into the M-79 grenade attack on BTS Sala Daeng station on April 22 found that five rounds were fired from more than one location, possibly from one team that kept moving or from a number of teams of attackers. The shots at three locations, aimed at crowds of Silom residents jeering at the red shirts across the street, could have been fired from high-vantage points or from behind the statute of King Rama VI to the south of Lumpini Park. This attack killed one and injured scores of others." http://news.asiaone.com/News/Latest%2BNews/Asia/Story/A1Story20100505-214358.html But this was not the source of the original news story I saw before. So.. I guess she's saying from several different locations, INCLUDING the hospital? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 One way to find out. Note where the M79 rounds impacted and the angle and direction they came form. Then fire an M79 round from each spot and see where it lands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaronTT Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Think she found the launch locations using the dousing rod bomb detectors which she insisted on using, even after they were proven to be worthless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCorinthian Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 As bad as those things shoot, I find it hard to believe they can pin it down to a 50 yard radius of the firing line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drogon Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 The M79 accuracy is not bad (and its range is good too) so much that some US troops recently used some M79 rather than its successor... The truth in Thailand seems to be what the biggest player (biggest payer?) says it is, Thailand = same same USSR Izvestia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
