Re: AP Archive films PHNOM PENH: FIGHTING CONTINUES TO RAGE
i wonder if this is the 70's?
the film seems very clear, great color
everyone very well dressed, well fed, clean
not at all what i would expect
this looks like Preah Vihear
at the end the guy is speaking Thai

Yes I'm fairly sure that's when the KR handed over Preah Vihear to Hun Sens troops in the 90'sphuketrichard wrote:i wonder if this is the 70's?

"Preah Vihear - an 800-year-old clifftop edifice on the border with Thailand - has long been considered impregnable.
But the Khmer Rouge apparently handed control over to troops loyal to Cambodian strongman HE without a fight.
The 80 guerrillas, who had controlled the mountaintop since 1993, met some 50 government soldiers face-to-face on Monday.
They said they preferred to negotiate a peace deal than fight."
The first Video is 1997 showing the factional fighting in Phnom Penh.
"Fighting raged in the Cambodian capital and spread to outlying provinces on Sunday on the second day of an apparent coup attempt.
Second Premier HE went on radio to label his opponent, First Premier Prince Norodom Ranariddh, a "traitor" who would have to go but denied he was staging a coup. At least nine people have been killed since Saturday, including a Japanese engineer. Another 50 people have been seriously wounded.
Rocket and mortar rounds mixed with bursts of machine-gun fire on Sunday outside the Tang Kasang military base, five kilometres (three miles) west of Phnom Penh. The base is surrounded by troops loyal to co-Prime Minister HE."

That (at least the first vid I watched) is the factional fighting of July 97. Much of that taken along Airport Road. The part where the armor is turing onto a road with a big '168' in the background is the corner of Nehru and Kampuchea Krom. The poor guy pulling the cart with his injured wife in the back was also a photo on the cover of the PPP that Monday. The pillar of smoke in the background is most likely the burning gas station where the flyover is now at the corner of Kampuchea Krom and Russian Blvd., which would make that vid Saturday afternoon. The following day that smoke settled into a haze over the city, leading CNN to compare Phnom Penh to Hiroshima
Edit: Originally I wrote "corner of Nehru and Russian Blvd." That is incorrect. It was the corner of Nehru and Kampuchea Krom. I changed the text above to reflect that.

In those clips of the '97 coup there's a tank, but what was the building that they fired the tank shells into?

There were tanks, and more APCs, but I just watched the one vid, the first one, and I didn't see any tanks firing in that one.

Correct the first film posted by One Dolla CAMBODIA: PHNOM PENH: FIGHTING CONTINUES TO RAGE shows the factual fighting in Phnom Penh july 1997, while the other video posted by puketrichard is a separate issue and relates to the capture of Preah Vihear from the KR by Government troups some time in the '90sLTO wrote:There were tanks, and more APCs, but I just watched the one vid, the first one, and I didn't see any tanks firing in that one.

Re: AP Archive films PHNOM PENH: FIGHTING CONTINUES TO RAGE
they seem to be taken around the same time if u look at the dress, color, cars in background and not to mention in the 2nd video there is a barang and it was in the list after the first video ended.
All in all the 1st video was NOT shot in the 70's as originally posted
