Cambodia festival tragedy

In Phnom Penh, Cambodia, on Nov. 22, the last day of an annual three-day water festival marking the end of the rainy season, 5,000 to 7,000 people packed onto a narrow suspension bridge connecting the city to a park on an island. The bridge’s swaying caused people to wrongly think it might collapse, the panicked crowd then stampeded and the crush left 351 dead and 395 injured.
