Must be a Cambodian thing Peter.
When they get pissed off they kill millions of their own.
Yet it is the home of ancient civilizations. Go figure.

Apparently quite a few of the dead were women.
This is being billed as the worst disaster to hit Cambodia since the Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot of the seventies. That is saying a lot. And this new event was an effing festival.

People complain about all the rules in the US, but these are the kinds of things that happen without crowd control. Once a crowd panics, if there aren't lots of exits, then it can get bad quickly.

Lots of people, narrow exit points.

"Stampede", "sheeple"?
This was not an animal event.
