Forty-five years ago today, on November 16, 1980 (October 9, 1980), a large explosion occurred in a large arms depot in Bangkok, killing and injuring nearly a thousand people. At 10:20 am on November 16, 1980, an explosion occurred in Thailand's largest arms depot and gun manufacturing factory in Bangkok, destroying buildings within 1 square kilometer. The explosion resounded throughout the city, killing and injuring nearly a thousand people. This is the largest explosion in Thailand to date. This arms depot is located on Soldier Road in the northwest suburb of Bangkok, directly belonging to the Army Arms Hall. There are military apartments, military families and workers' dormitories nearby, and three or four thousand people live there. At 10:20, I suddenly heard a loud noise, and several large windows in the dining room of my embassy fell to the ground, shaking greatly. The reporter ran to the apartment building to watch, and saw a mushroom cloud rising nearly 100 meters above the northwest of Bangkok. Many windows of buildings within a few kilometers of the blast area were shattered.
