Reports coming to Blueoceana Company indicate that Supot Nilkaew, 51, and Kaysorn Phummarin, 46, a husband and wife over-the-road drayage team servicing Berth B-5 of the Laem Chabang container facility on the afternoon of 26 February 2021, were crushed to death by a fallen container while sitting next to one another in the cab of their tractor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given the very loose [and imperfect] translations of each available news article addressing this event, it’s difficult to understand precisely how or why this accident actually occurred. Nonetheless, we’ll continue to search for an accurate disposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From what we’ve read, however, we believe that a container being hauled by another tractor jackknifed, became airborne and ultimately landed on the roof of the couple’s cab (See<\/em> photos below). The 40′ container, which was said to to have a gross weight of 20 tons, crushed the cab and the occupants inside. It took approximately an hour for first responders to free the bodies from the wreckage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
