One smart person raises a credible concern, a few people start commenting subjectively and some go totally off track (like the PDP-DPT story. Its most probably made up!). The issue about the BOD is something that should bother everyone in Thimphu. So much fuel & gas are stored there that it will only take a spark to ignite the whole area and, god forbid, claims lives and injure people. Once a guy on a scooter was about to light a cigarette there. Its common sense not to spark anything near the tanks and it was probably a momentary lapse of concentration from the scooter guy, who upon realising immediately put it off. The point is accidents happen and it happens everywhere in the world. We also know that 'prevention is better than cure'. It might not happen now nor in our lifetime but if ever does, it'll happen in our capital and if lives are lost, it'll be bhutanese. This is basically how things work in our country.

The biggest fireworks plus disaster ever seen in Bhutan is a probable future for the above BOD.

It would be nice to redesign the whole town but i doubt the possiblity. I also doubt the possibilty of relocating the BOD. <br /><br />But i believe that another similar incident can be prevented by being more careful and of course by being more strict on the rules of the traffic. <br />I don't drive so may be i don't really understand it but i also happen to know that people do break many traffic rules to save on time and gas. i think to begin with we need to find out what caused the burst of the oil tanker and if it is preventable by educating or creating awareness.
