Word underground is: Orient Thai 737-400 enroute to Phuket OX-833 encountered a strong thunderstorm on the ILS. Crew initiated a go-around and impacted trees taking out one of the engines. They then declared an emergency and landed at Surat Thani. So, let's see if they are able to cover this up, as the news media is only hearing that they damaged two tires making a 180 at the end of the runway. Photos in a Thai newspaper shows foam all over the engine and runway. Interesting story this is. :=
