Re: 7 Scrap Workers Killed Opening Suspected WW2 Bomb with Blow Torch
From Wikipedia: Allied bombing raids on the Thai capital city of Bangkok began even before Thailand had declared war, since the Empire of Japan was using the country as a staging area for its invasions of both Malaya and Burma, with the agreement of the Thai government after Japan's successful invasion of the southeast Asian country. |

Re: 7 Scrap Workers Killed Opening Suspected WW2 Bomb with Blow Torch
(Reuters) - A suspected World War II bomb exploded in the Thai capital as scrap metal workers tried to cut it open with a blow torch, killing at least seven people and injuring 19, police said. Construction workers found the shell at a construction site and brought it to a warehouse on the outskirts of Bangkok to be cut up. "We believe the bomb dates back to World War Two and weighed about 227 kg. As they probably did not know (what to do), they used a blow torch to try to cut open the bomb," said police superintendent Kamthorn Uicharoen. "The explosion created a three-meter deep crater." Pools of blood and body parts were scattered on the floor of the warehouse.  Reuters camera footage showed just the shell of the building remained, its interior a mesh of twisted metal as firefighters doused flames and burning embers. Allied bombing raids on Bangkok began in 1942. Japan was using the country as a staging post for its invasions of Burma and Malaya source http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/...A310Q420140402  |
