The tragedy on Pich Bridge was not a planned terrorist or a criminal case, and
it was not the result of electrocution either, however, it was an accident due
to panic and stampede. The deaths were due to asphyxia, dehydration and
impossibility to move muscles.
This is the result of the investigation conducted by the commission in charge
of investigating the tragedy on Pich Bridge on 22 Nov 2010. The result was
presented during a press conference held at the Council of Ministers on Monday
afternoon. The highly anticipated investigation result has been made public,
but there is nothing new or different from what government officials have been
trumpeting all along.
Xok An, the minister of the Council of Ministers and chairman of the commission
above, indicated that funds received from donors will be provided to the
victims through the ACLEDA bank for security reason.
Yesterday, Hun Xen announced that there is nobody who will be blamed in this
case, it is a joint responsibility due to carelessness and underestimation of
situation. Like Hun Xen, Xok An also claimed that this is a major lesson for
future Water Festival celebrations.
The press conference indicated that the investigation on Pich Bridge is now
completely closed.
