747's vandalised/grounded

From the Bangkok Post:

The dogfight over Thailand's airline business has turned ugly with two Boeing 747s belonging to Orient Thai Airlines, the privately held Thai carrier that has spurred a fierce round of fare-cutting with its budget operation One-Two-Go, vandalised by intruders while parked at the Navy-run U-Tapao airport in Chon Buri.


The damage to cockpits and engines of the jets was apparently so extensive that they will most likely have to be scrapped.

....Scary that security at a naval base allowed for this......
Possible industrial jealousy/disruption?
