14 die in nightclub fire in Thailand: No foreign tourist among dead
Social media videos showed revellers screaming and running out with their bodies engulfed in flames. “The singer shouted ‘fire’ and threw away the microphone" and scrambled for the exit. Even security guards had their clothes on fire. Thai television TPBS reported that the back door was locked. The club had flammable soundproofing making the job all the more difficult for firefighters.
BANGKOK, Aug 5: Fourteen people died in a nightclub fire in Thailand on Friday.
The fire occurred at the Mountain B nightclub in the Sattahip district of Chonburi
province, about 160 km southeast of Bangkok in the wee hours.
Of 40 other people injured, 14 have severe burns. The police said all the victims
have been identified and they are all Thai nationals.
Social media videos showed people running out with their bodies engulfed in
flames. Thick black smoke billowed out of the building's doors at the front,
on the side and at the back. Witnesses heard sound of explosions. “The fire
started at the top right corner of the stage,” one witness told reporters. “The
singer shouted ‘fire’ and threw away the microphone." Even security guards had
their clothes on fire.
Thai television TPBS reported that the back door was locked. The club had flammable
soundproofing acoustic foam on the walls making the job all the more difficult
for the firefighters.
Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha assured the families of the victims of relief
from the Government.
The cause of the deadly fire is under investigation.
Entertainment venues in Thailand do not have proper emergency exits and fire
safety measures, it is said.
In an earlier incident 13 years ago, a blaze at a New Year’s party at a nightclub
in Bangkok killed 66 people and injured more than 200. In 2012, in tourist favourite
Phuket, four people died in a club fire.
Incidentally, after the covid pandemic, all those vaccinated had a free entry
since May 1 and foreign tourist footfalls increased although there was no report
of any foreigner trapped in Friday's fire incident. The Government expects 15
million overseas visitors by year-end. Thailand is a sought-after destination
for tourists around the world, especially from the Western countries.
WHAT TO DO, WHEN... : IndiaTravelTimes does not guarantee the
authenticity of the video (above) of the episode of the flight turbulence at
Durgapur airport on May 1, yet this is being put out with a view to
familiarising the ordinary fliers with such probabilities lest they are
caught unawares and fail to react rationally to handle such terrible
situations. The 'eternity' can last up to 15 minutes. Tighten your belts,
believe in your pilot and shift your thoughts to reduce disabling anxieties!
Rest assured, the aircraft can rock and fall but not more than a hundred
feet anyway.
During the event, nearly 50 other people, including bull tamers and spectators,
were also injured. Jallikattu is a bull-taming sport, which has been part of the
festival of Pongal in Tamil Nadu.
Whole localities are sent into quarantine in China using force if someone is
symptomatic of covid. The quarantines are metal boxes set up in far away
camps. The authoritarian regime is resorting to draconian methods to check a
new wave of the epidemic in the country that has already locked down three
cities currently. On the other hand, the US presents a contrasting scenario
where in the name freedom large sections of people refuse vaccination and
assault health workers who mandate the covid restrictions.

Can we ask the vaccinator, "Do you pull back the plunger and
then push the vaccine? Do you Aspirate?" When the vaccination
for covid started there were reports of worrisome incidents of
adverse events post immunisation, the serious complaints being
non-specific blood clots. These related to viral vector vaccines of
human and non-human source: AstraZeneca and Janssen. How
did it happen. There are various views. But here is a suggestion
how simply it can be prevented.
Marking a fierce but interesting competition among the
billionaires, adventure specialist Richard Branson launched
commercial space travel from his 'Spaceport America' on Sunday,
pipping the world's richest man, Amazon's Jeff Bezos, to the
post, becoming the early bird to fly to the edge of space as the
first private space tourist nine days earlier than his rival.
Although he did not cross the Karman line.

While the rationalists debunk the episode as a ploy to make up for
the losses in offerings during the corona lockdown, the believers
stick to their claim, they have seen it after all! The claim of

different branches of science.
