between 0:17 and 0:21 whats the name of that song? i doubt anyone will know but worth a shot. its kinda catchy!

[preahko]

That's from Preap Savath and Pich Saophea, "You Better Not Come Home," probably the biggest hit in Cambodia in 2005. Pich Saophea is the one singing in that short clip in the opening credits. Just do a search on "you better not come home preap" on YouTube and you can watch the whole music video.

WOW...looking at the fire crashed plane clip, how did the baby boy survived. miracle.

[preahko]

The explosion was a different plane, not the one that the baby survived, I added it in--there's no footage of that one crashing.  However, it still was a horrible crash and everyone died except him, so it is quite amazing that he survived...as the Khmer saying goes, "chiiwit min ah, min slap"

That's one bad Cambodian man !! i wonder if he can fly jets like the stealth bombers,but he is nowhere as bad as the baby that survived that crash !! that's one tough baby !! angels are looking out for him that day,is there such a thing as miracles ?

[preahko]

He specializes in ATR-72s, that's the plane you see in the video, but he's also been trained on Boeing 737s.
