What was in the bags that the flood was carrying away?

As everything was floating away pretty fast, maybe it was just bags full of empty water bottles. The large number of large 20 lt water bottles might be a clue.

No mention of the dam collapse in Kirirom with the following flash flood through the village of Chambok this morning? There were some kids missing shortly after, who had gone to the forest with their cows, but everyone are found now.

I’m glad the headline clarified which Kampot it was (on a Cambodian forum) otherwise I’d be stumped.

Thanks CEOCambodiaNews. :good:

Kampot: A notice issued on October 20, 2018, by Kampot’s Disaster Management Committee warned that the Kamchay Hydroelectric Power Company’s technical team had opened the doors to release water gradually from the dam on October 20, 2018, and residents close to the dam were asked to be prepared to evacuate in case of emergency…..
