Re: Two Missing After Pailin Landslide
Good news: one person has been found alive.
Battambang: According to a military official, a victim of the landslide was found still alive, but suffering from some injuries. However, he did not confirm the identity of the victim, who was still waiting to be taken to the 5th Brigade Command and transferred to hospital.
Later on, Lieutenant General Ouch Sokhon, the provincial police chief, said that the victim was found in Thai territory about two kilometers from the Cambodian border. He said that because the incident occurred on the Thai side of the border, our forces received the information late. Now, at this time, the victim has been brought to the hospital.

Good news about the one survivor.
I just about never pray, but i will send up a plea to the spirits for the other missing person.
It is amazing just how powerful a photograph of a pair of shoes can be..
