BoingBoing reader Jodi Ettenberg is one of a number of people live-tweeting the military crackdown unfolding in Bangkok, Thailand. Above, an image of the city shot during the last 12 hours, via iBangkok. More on Jodi's blog, and a previous BB post with links to Twitter/liveblogs to follow is here.

Image at left in this post: Front page of the Bangkok Post from 1992. Boing Boing pal Kristie LuStout, who is an anchor and reporter with CNN International in Hong Kong, says: "Exactly 18 years ago today, the front page of the Bangkok Post read: Bloody Battles Rage in City. This is making the Thailand/Twitter rounds today."
