Surely not sabotage? -------- The red shirts strike back LOL -------- Richard Barrow â€@RichardBarrow 16m 8am No news yet from the BTS as to the nature of the problem, other than "technical problem", nor how long the shutdown will last Richard Barrow â€@RichardBarrow 4m 8:10am These are the long queues at MRT Rama 9 (Pic @ppoiploy) Richard Barrow â€@RichardBarrow 4m 8:08am Commuters now arriving at subway stations.

waerth Posted December 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 The BTS skytrain service was disrupted by technical error Tuesday morning. Passengers could not use the service at all stations. The disruption of the service started at 6 am according to a Tweeter message from BTS. By 8 am, the service has not resumed yet. BTS announced on its micro-blogging Tweeter site that the service was halted because BTS navigation control system malfunctioned.

cavanami Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Shouldn't jump to conclusions. Failures do happen. I know a Thai person who did work on the BTS system and it takes specific knowledge to shutdown the system. The average person, me included, would not know to disable some radio xmitter. Now if they find bullet holes in the control equipment, that is another story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunsanuk Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Hi, Ah, this explains why the subway was a total disaster this morning. Not seen it this packed before. And of course no matter how full the train is, some asshole or cunt will still run from 3-4 people back in the queue to squeeze in Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
