Containers full of corpses found

PostAuthor: izzix » May 7, 2009, 1:15 am

Wednesday 6th May 2009
Containers full of bodies reported to have been discovered off the coast of Sattahip.

A disturbing story now from Sattahip District involving the discovery of containers thought to contain dead bodies. The story first broke last week on Thai TV Channel 3 following the discovery of a container surrounded by reportedly hundreds of skeletons. This discovery was made almost two months ago but remained a closely guarded secret until the story was leaked to the press last week.. We understand that a total of 8 containers have been found in three separate locations between Phie Island and Pram Island and 30 nautical miles off the Coast of Juang Island which are all located in the Gulf of Thailand. For many years fishermen have reported the capture of skeletal remains in their fishing nets, however many cases have remained unreported. There is a suggestion some of the containers have been at the locations for up to 20 years. Now that the exact locations of the containers have been identified and a full report has been made to the Police, it is thought these containers will now be recovered and the contents will be revealed. Locals fear the worse and suggest the containers are full of bodies, but this cannot be confirmed until the containers are recovered. We will follow this story and update you when new information is received by us.

Wow! :shock: Are they talking about those big international shipping containers that transfer to over-the-road trailers? If this is true,,,, it's a major story....call in the forensics experts.

The location off Sattahip makes me believe it's not Cambodians, Vietnamese, or Burmese. It's also in the wrong area to be unclaimed vicims of the Tsunami.... what a conundrum. The Thais usually cremate their dead so,,,,,,,,,,.

What about the possibility the bodies are illegal Chinese immigrants that died in transit to Thailand and the shipping companies pushed the containers overboard when they discovered the illegals had died under the terrible conditions? Yeah,,, until the truth comes out,,,, that's my theory..

20 years..... :-k
So fisherman have reported skeletal finds in their nets, so some containers have burst open..not easy if its the normal type of shipping container, if they can ID some the story will unfold, i bet someone somewhere is squirming in their seat when this hit the news...but hold on..its the locals that are saying they are full of the dead, would love to be there when they open them, could be anything inside.

hise containers will open a can or worms, no doubt about that. The nationality of the bodies will be hard to ascertain, but that needs to dealt with. As for illegals doubt that, I was thinking morte on the lines of a group of humans not accetable to the govt of the day in the country where they lived killed and dumped. couse of death is hard to figure, nationality also hard, container owner also hard to ascertain, sea water does a good job of removing many traces of anything.
A huge conundrum lets see who the main culprit is, Burma, China any of many South American Countries, African nations, all are possible.

23 years back... :-k a possibility,if so someone is defiantly uncomfortable today i'll wager.

South American or african nations...
:-k

8 containers on a ship in the gulf of Thailand dumping very large containers over board, if those nations, why dump them there, why not in the vast Indian Ocean or South Atlantic on the way to/from those nations, very little chance of anyone ever finding them on the bed of an vast Ocean.
No i rule that one out.

Friday 8th May 2009
The mystery of the undersea containers in Sattahip continues.

We are closely following report of around 20 containers situated on the sea-bed which are thought to contain the skeletal remains of humans. Although the presence of the containers has been confirmed after a dive team took pictures of them earlier this week, reports claiming that at least one of the containers which was surrounded by skeletons after it had been opened is only a rumor for now. We have spoken with a number of local fishermen who confirm the discovery of many skeletons over the years; however an association with the containers cannot be proven. We understand that a government team have now been assigned to the case and are expected to investigate the contents of the containers shortly. We will of course bring the results of their findings to you as soon as we receive them.
