Cambodia(khmer) water festival 2010 disaster

[MrPhon1984]

only in cambodia can such thing like this happen wtf r all of them doing crowded on the bridge anyway

[ainanor]

they died because of their stupid festival....

[JamesSantangelo]

I'm Canadian. I was on vacation and happened to be at the Water Festival that night a little further down river past the palace. It was a beautify event that ended in tragedy. It's not a "stupid" festival anymore than gathering for New Years in New York or London is. A stampede can happen anywhere there are large crowds, confined spaces and bottlenecks. And to those bashing Chinese construction I'd challenge you to visit Shanghai or the 3 Gorges damn.

Ainanor, think before you type.

It is so sad for Khmer. Government have to find justice for those victims both wounded and died. Giving 5 millions riels, 1000 dollars, or some fund to the death is not legal solution or compensation, it is only the charity help. Finding out people's responsible for sad event is the best way to prevent destruction or any incident in the future. But sometime giving the money without any right investigation is the best way that the rich or power man always do with the poor in this country.

GODS DAMNED! THAT FANCY SWING? BRIDGE SHOULD BE BURNT DOWN!!

[mooody12]

So this is the famous bridge. I'd imagine it much more narrow, more like a pedestrian bridge. I suppose the high voltage wires were temporary tied up on the structure of bridge. Awful tradgety.

[dodknow]

i'm so sorry to hear that.

R.I.P
