YimSiam Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Good lord. Ridiculous. And tragic for the dead and their families. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baa99 Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 I wonder if the contractors were locked in the room due to bank security. It would be very difficult to find the exit, when a canister goes. Imagine this in a closed room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Charges Filed Against Execs in Deadly Gas Leak BANGKOK — Two executives from the contractor blamed for a deadly gas leak at SCB Park Plaza were charged today in connection with the incident that left eight people dead. Mega Planet PLC Director Adisorn Foda, who authorized the contract to install a water-free fire suppression system at the bank’s headquarters, and Managing Director Napong Suksa-nguan arrived at the Phahon Yothin Police Station on Tuesday, where they heard the charges and were to be questioned by investigators. The two men rejected the charge, according to acting metro police chief Sanit Mahatavorn. Investigators have other suspects in the Sunday night incident but cannot reveal their names as the investigation is ongoing, Lt. Gen. Sanit said. According to Sanit, Mega Planet beat out four other firms to win the bid to install the pyrogen gas system, which activated during installation and suffocated five people to death immediately. Three others died later, and at least seven were injured. Police said they are reviewing the details of the contract. Siam Commercial Bank said the company will compensate the families of the deceased with 100,000 baht and an initial 30,000 baht to each of those injured. http://www.khaosodenglish.com/detail.php?newsid=1458119471§ion=00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Hi, "Siam Commercial Bank said the company will compensate the families of the deceased with 100,000 baht" Wow, an entire 100,000 Baht! That's what? Like a week's pay for their executives? Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bust Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 But can they then go after Mega Planet? They should at least be jailed for coming up with such a redicilous name for their business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YimSiam Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 I wonder if the contractors were locked in the room due to bank security. It would be very difficult to find the exit, when a canister goes. Imagine this in a closed room. Why would they have set up a demonstration like that, in the open air, with some mysterious burning liquid as the target? Is the Forest Service or a golf course looking for outdoors fire extinguishers? Odd. And redicilous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
