In a dramatic turn of events, a massive explosion occurred at a factory nestled inside the 304 Industrial Park, Prachinburi, resulting in a thunderous shockwave enveloped by a colossal plume of smoke. The source of this shockwave was discovered to be an electrical transformer residing in the factory that exploded, inciting rapid attention and immediate response from relevant officials.
This abrupt incident happened at the stroke of 11.20am, jolting the otherwise silent industrial park into a frenzied stir. The factory bearing the brunt of this chaos belongs to none other than Ratchakrit Phayak, the revered District Chief of Sri Maha Phot. This overwhelming explosion catapulted a monumental column of fire entwined with smoke straight into the heavens, transforming into a chilling spectacle visible from considerable distances.
Quite shockingly, debris of a severed high-voltage electric wire were spotted in close proximity to the ill-fated factory, scattered across the ground. It is widely speculated that this could be an offshoot of the ghastly explosion. As of now, the factory authorities, in collaboration with officials, have cordoned off the surrounding area, prohibiting entry as a safety measure against any harmful exposure to high-voltage electricity.
Yothin Pongsawor, the esteemed president of the local administrative organisation, visited the blast site for an assessment and spoke reassuringly about the situation within the factory, which he revealed has been initially brought under control. As it stands, the definitive cause behind the explosion remains shrouded in uncertainty, with officials patiently expecting a meticulous investigation by authorities competent in dealing with such incidents.
Initial conjectures drawn by the responding unit postulate that a possible short circuit in the electrical distribution room could be at the heart of the explosion. However, until the conclusion of an exhaustive investigation into the matter, this speculation remains unofficial. It’s worth mentioning that the distressed factory is involved in electricity production for the 304 Industrial Park.
Although the extent of the damage caused by the explosion still remains under review, it’s known that the entire setting of this incident was under close observation of KhaoSod. Notably, a separate incident of great significance happened on the same night, where two automotive spoiler production factories were engulfed in roaring flames, ending up in a devastating loss amounting to millions of dollars. Despite the strenuous efforts from quickly deployed firefighters, the suspect behind these fires points towards an unfortunate electrical short circuit.
Repercussions of transformer explosions weren’t just confined to factories. A similar event traumatized Pattaya Beach Road when a power transformer positioned there succumbed to an explosion during a torrential downpour. This horrifying blast led to the destruction of six motorcycles parked beneath it. However, fortune favored the inhabitants who reported no casualties in what could have been a disastrous incident.
