It's a wonder they survived,
You can see the two girls coming out of the side road and taking the full blast, hope they both make a speedy recovery.
RIP regarding the Local lady that did not make it,

I was told that the young lady pictured in the gofundme mentioned here is the least. injured of the two. Supposedly the other one from the moto is in serious condition with severe burns and on a ventilator (18 years old). Probably not a good condition when in a Cambodian hospital.dontbeasourlemon wrote: ↑Thu Aug 15, 2019 10:17 am I saw this link on Facebook an expat (18, F) living in SR was caught in the explosion and is in the hospital her mother set up a go fund me to help with mounting hospital bills for more info see this link.

Abbey received burns to over 35% of her body in a gas explosion today. She was riding her moto in front of a gas station when there was a massive explosion. We’ve already had thousands in medical bills from treatment and transport costs. She’s been transported to a hospital with a better burn unit and the costs will add up quickly. Any donations you can give for her treatment would be much appreciated. Thanks!!

Re: Westerners Injured & Khmer Killed in Gas Station Explosion in Siem Reap, Cambodia
Faulty cigarettes would have been the cause of explosion. Rarely do you see a Khmer pouring a liter bottle of fuel into his bike without a smoke in he's hand and I'm sure the same goes when they hand over the 4kg gas bottle to refill you need to light up while you wait.

An already burning cigarette is not hot enough to light petrol or gas. Otherwise your spark plugs would be made by Benson and Hedges.brisie wrote: ↑Thu Aug 15, 2019 1:43 pm Faulty cigarettes would have been the cause of explosion.
