Official slams psychic's dam prediction

The Mineral Resources Department director-general has urged Thais not to panic about a psychic's prediction that the Bhumibol Dam in Tak's Sam Ngao district will burst on New Year's Eve.

The prediction was made 37 years ago by "Pla Bu", a psychic, who said before he died the dam would collapse around 10 pm on Dec 31. If it occurs, downstream provinces including Bangkok would be inundated and many people would be killed.

Pla Bu was nearly six years old when he made the prediction.

    To calm fears about the prediction, Tak governor Samart Loifa will tomorrow organise a countdown party at the dam as an assurance that it is safe

    You can't just make this stuff up.....

    Why shouldn't Thai's believe this prediction? They go to fortune tellers regularly and believe every word they say, so now they are being told that it won't come true! Maybe the authorities should warn all Thai's they are wasting their money seeing these frauds, but wait don't Thai politicians use psychics and fortune tellers as well? So they only want to here good news then?
    PS: what if someone goes and blows up the dam to fulfill the prediction - does that mean it was predicted???

    Perhaps the floods that just occurred was what he saw.
