chelseafan Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 There has been a large explosion close to a shrine in the centre of the Thai capital, Bangkok. The BBC's Jonathan Head, who is at the scene, says there appear to be both dead and injured, amid a huge amount of chaos. He says there is a massive amount of damage and a crater that indicates this could be a bomb. Our correspondent says that if it is a bomb,this would be a rare attack for the capital.

Though I am surprised that Bangkok doesn't get hit more often what with all the crap down the south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
