9 People Killed and Several More Injured in Battambang When Minibus Crashes With Truck

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

As you were......
Ah, I think I get you. Well, if you mean this:

I'm rather immune to seeing accident aftermath. Just doesn't hit any nerves or anything.

Yet, when those obituaries are posted, it hits me. Very disturbing to be reminded that a few seconds before the fatal crash, the bodies you see mangled across the street, were lively, beautiful girls on a bus with friends coming back from a fun trip to Thailand.



Kind of reminds me of what happens in a movie when the dog dies. There can be a hundred people brutally slaughtered in a movie and nobody bats an eye; but if someone shoots the dog, everyone is teary-eyed and furious.

See on the pic below, on the second line from the top where it says "Bangkok Thailand <world>
that means it is publicly available. I don't see a problem with this.

dont agree with the dog anaolgy
a more accurate one would be you were watching some film thats based on a true story where everyone/most people die in it...
then at the end of the film they then go on to show you photos of the actual real people
it leaves you feeling sad and a "realisation"
example
the movie "Lone Survivor" Quality action film, then boom, the credits give you a kick right in the feels! showing you all the characters that died in the real life story


think Kilo Two Bravo was another fairly recent one
