Cambodia News (Kandal): On January 25, 2020, at 10:15 am, a tragic accident occurred when an 8-year-old boy, Panna Daro, died in firecracker explosion, at a house of a woman named, Hou Thavy, in Saang district, Kandal.

Oh man. Firecrackers and gasoline make such a bad combination. I know that Cambodian kids are very self-reliant and are often left unsupervised, but this makes me angry. The kid was only 8. Where are the adults ?
The shopkeeper: "Sure little kid, of course I'll sell you firecrackers to play with."
The aunty: "Nephew, go play in the yard next to those gasoline drums. "
RIP. So sad and unnecessary.

Last week in my village an 8 year old died. Didn't make the news. An electric cable was hinging from the roof, powered, without any circuitbraker installed. The kid played with it, and died as a result.
So sad, so unnecessary, and because it doesn't get reported it will happen again, and again, and again....

Even if empty of liquid gasoline, it was surely full of gasoline vapors. Combined with oxygen in the air and the sparks from a firecracker and BOOM!Ravensnest wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2020 10:05 am damn lack of education. rip kid. anyone else think it wasn't empty?

It's probably just me, but I'm having trouble working out what could have happened. The oil drum looks normal in the first pic, and in the second two photo's, it does look as if there was an explosion inside of it due to the bulge, but it still looks intact and no sign of fire. The boy clearly put the fire cracker inside which made it explode, but unless the bottom of the barrel separated from the main body during the explosion and hit the boy (which we can't see in the pictures) I can't work what would have caused the boy's death?

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.

There are only photos of the boy once he is dead, so we are not showing them because they don't add any information as to why and how the accident occurred.

Re: Fatal Accident When 8Yo Boy Plays with Firecrackers
Thanks for the added photo. I see what happened now. Very sad story. In other countries, someone would be up in front of a judge answering charges of, at least, child neglect. This was clearly so preventable.CEOCambodiaNews wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2020 2:43 pmDuncan wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2020 2:23 pmxandreu wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2020 1:52 pm It's probably just me, but I'm having trouble working out what could have happened.
