Thai Underwater Cargo Mystery Deepens

cutting open these containers under water could be very messy if they actually contain human remains !
and it would also ruin any evidence that could be left  , that could be used against whoever did this !

Eight mysterious containers rumored to be full of human remains found
off the coast of the Gulf of Thailand will be kept underwater for
further investigation to determine their origin.

"Lifting the
containers from the sea is ruled out because it will cost a lot of
money, but we will be looking for the safest way to cut open the
containers underwater,” Pornthip Rojanasunan, director of Central
Institute for Forensic Science (CIFS), told The Nation.

Ms.
Rojanasunan is head of a team of forensic experts looking into the
issue after claims that human remains were found near one of the
containers in Sattahip District, Chon Buri Province.

Following
news reports of fishermen finding human bones in the ocean, a survey
was conducted by CIFS and the Thai Navy. Officials confirmed the
discovery of the containers on May 15. However, no human remains were
found in the vicinity.

Since then rumors have circulated
that the bodies of protesters from a violent crackdown in May 1992—the
so-called Black May incident—are inside the containers. The Black May
incident resulted in over 50 deaths, along with injuries and
disappearances of hundreds of protesters.

The families of those missing immediately appealed to Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva to investigate further.


The prime minister stated in his weekly televised address that test
results indicate the containers may have been under water for more than
20 years, which would rule out the possibility of any relation to Black
May.
