Yes. The police is useless. And no one will be hold responsible. Hun sen and friends.... sit deep in their seats. Safety? would cost money. Water festival is a day to make money...

News says that some victims were electrocuted while others were suffocated. The story of police using water cannons to move the crowd while accidentally coming in contact with the lights and electrocuting them fits.

The situation can happens because of some small group of teen who prefers to scare people away to make way for them or they just push forward to make way for themselves or their group of friends to pass through. This could be one of the factor based on one of the survivor from the stampe said.

I just spoke with my mom about the scoop from Cambodian news, along with water cannons and electricution by some folks on the bridge, there's some conversation around someone yelling to the crowd that the bridge is falling apart and to get out!!! Also, this is apparently a brand new bridge built by the chinese and opened this year. The water festival has been taken place in cambodia for years without incident until this bridge. The government will give $1000 usd to the family who died.

@soucorp Actually it's 5 millions Riel ($1,250) and 1 million Riel ($250) for the injured.
