Boat accident off Phuket Sunday - tourists missing?

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

PHUKET: The speedboat driver who crashed into a fishing trawler yesterday has blamed a plastic bag for the accident.

The Seastar speedboat sank after hitting the trawler, leaving 35 injured and two missing (story here).

“About 20 minutes after we departed from Maya Bay [on Koh Phi Phi] the sky got very dark and a black plastic bag flew under my seat. I was worried it would fly into the tourists, so I decided to pick it up,” Surat Matosot told Krabi Provincial Police today.

Surely a rule on the word 'jammer' would suffice.
