A nation in grief

National mourning
Till now, I keep asking myself if it's just a nightmare. I still can't believe my eyes, my ears that Cambodia has just gone through a toughest moment, after the Killing Field, in which more than 300 of its citizen have been killed and several other hundreds injured in a stampede in the last day of Water Festival.

Today, from a very early morning, the Cambodian people all over the country are mourning for the death.

Many joining the ceremony, including Prime Minister Hun Sen, right in front of the bridge.

National mourning
The killing machine which killed hundred of people in just a few hours.

National mourning
