By Ashin Mettacara (Page 1 of 1 pages) No comments

A passenger bus exploded at approximately 3:00 am on October 13th. Seven people were killed and one was injured. The explosion occurred in front of the FAO office, in Yangon's Insein Township. The bus was No(132) passenger bus which runs from Taik Kyee to Yangon's Thirimangalar Market.
According to a witness the explosion was caused by gas. Because petrol is too expensive, people are using natural gas which is cheaper. Gas explosions occur often in Burma, killing many people in Burma.
Bus No 45 exploded on September 9th, injuring many people.

"The world is seemingly full of disconnected crises, but Rob Kall begs to differ. An exceptional pattern thinker, he connects a range of contemporary challenges through a framework of bottom-up solutions in a world dominated by top-down thinking. Mining extensive interviews with thought leaders and exploring an eclectic mix of leading-edge ideas, Bottom-Up describes a variety of latent and emergent characteristics of an evolutionary paradigm shift that's changing the world. Whether your focus is in business, leadership, activism, or organizations, Kall offers a practical conceptual map and toolset to engage the planetary evolution taking place all around us. If you want to make a difference and need inspiration for how to participate in this global transformation, there is plenty in this book to draw from."
