a ceremony going so far. let me just give you some context today this is the first time that makes people gathered here today with the king in thailand being around because of course it's sixty nine years almost in the day that the long morning was around here in a country where the money is to be afforded a divine status it is the moment here in time in a number of elaborate ceremonies throughout the day as part of this carnation process that it's day one of the most rituals and part of the day was when the king happened he said he had to go to the pure haitian ceremony he was then anointed and his must be. just. great with righteousness and you know that if something breaks and that's what his father said when he was crowned this is decades in. a short time ago it was

a kind of patron and it isn't. very and there are many taking place throughout the day to. talk to us a little bit about the symbolism of today's ritual. symbolism that is quite right that is something that be felt through every trace that so far that we've seen today is very rich at the end of this tradition dating back centuries just to give you an example the king was presented with the were gay and that in mind that is my mind in the represent different concepts his role at the moment one of them being at the crown that seven kilograms he placed on his head the. weight. being one you say given the royal family nothing but impacting the way the problems at the time keep going back to the exit if you're.

they should certainly not say very important because if this ceremony that's been counted for maybe one hundred different locations across thailand that's months ahead consecrated several times before that he says his boss. stand by we're coming back to you but first let's hear what people in thailand have to say about today's cornish and how many times that you have the time to have such a basic life or a ceremony like this one so i think very much. as i said that yesterday i want my. help and i'm proud to be living in thailand and to have the king taking care of us by today. i mean i was i'm really happy and proud because as citizens we want the best king and queen of thailand or even of the willed like me you need to go

home i can't buy you and i don't but i have so surely clearly there's a lot of excitement on the streets of bangkok today what else are people saying. yeah that's been he's been it's a case in the buildup to this event we spoke to one man as they say it's been six hundred kilometers and it's to be on time and we need the coronation people that we've spoken to here say that they want to be there to mark their respects that reverence for the king asked he was being crowned people would gather in clusters watching some of the key to the big screen the result the break here grounds at the grand palace tomorrow that is another momentous day for the people here in thailand because they'll be the group perception the king will take part in the procession through the streets of bangkok and people here will get a chance to catch a glimpse of the king and to show you to pay their respects to him as well then on monday there's one more chance to see him he'll be on the balcony at the grand palace behind me. say people come out and essentially witness history happening.

and fill in bangkok for a stroll i think you. a boeing seven thirty seven has crashed on landing in florida twenty one people were injured as the airliner slid off the runway at naval station jacksonville in the northeastern section of that u.s. state the commercial jet had been chartered by the u.s. military and was arriving from a u.s. base in cuba. passengers said it was terrifying they described how in the middle of a thunderstorm the seven thirty seven bounced twice on the runway then skidded into the st john's river but the plane did not submerge and all one hundred forty three people aboard were able to escape by climbing out onto the wing authorities said disaster had been averted. i just want to emphasize again we transported twenty one people all adults from this incident involving an aircraft

a commercial boeing seven thirty seven aircraft and it is jack the twenty one individuals that we transported were all listed in good condition no critical injuries sustained by any of those twenty one the plane had traveled to jacksonville florida from the u.s. naval station at guantanamo bay in cuba it's likely it was carrying mostly military personnel and their families there are no details yet as to why the airliner crashed the plane's manufacturer boeing is under scrutiny over two deadly crashes of a different model plane in recent months. that model was this seven thirty seven max eight the latest version of the seven thirty seven airliner earlier ice i asked aviation expert julian bray if there could be any connection between today's incident and the earlier crashes. it's nothing what so to the max

a the max eight is a totally different aircraft with different engines and the reason for the grounding of that variant totally different this is boeing's work courses seven three seven thousands these aircraft flying around the world every day in europe ryan air has hundreds of them and they rely on them all the time so it's commonly seen it is a very good aircraft it's only it's a little first your fuel. any clue as far as you can tell is an expert as to what caused this particular action. well apparently the way the rounds are that the jacksonville naval base was very bad last night it was a storm and so it sounds as though there was a lot of water on the runway and quite literally the plane put its landing gear down couldn't get purchase couldn't get a grip with the wheels and it just tense lead off the runway and into the river now this will be this in john's river it's not very deep concerns that the plane is

actually resting on its landing gear are not actually floating in the river however the wings are above the waterline now i understand everybody climbed out onto wings now you may remember the sally incident and the hudson river in two thousand and nine i think it was and that was really made into a film and light wise they actually climbed out on the wings and they were rescued the big problem out the moment of course is containing the aviation spirit that's on board the fuel if you like so they have to put a bond what they call a bond which is a big sort of send around it make sure it does not you contaminate the river that's the biggest problem they have at the moment twenty one people injured but all taken off all being taken care of and i understand the military and the investigators are already at the site looking at it. aviation expert julian gray thanks so very much thank you now to some of the other stories making news
