geovalin Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 One man died and another was injured on Tuesday after a 60mm mortar shell exploded in Banteay Meanchey province’s Preah Net Preah district. Sin Rasy, military police chief of Preah Net Preah district, said yesterday that the two men lived next to each other and were using the old, rusty shell as a hammer to do work on a tractor. “The dead man had the old mortar from somewhere and he kept at his home for a long time, but he was not aware that it could explode because it was so rusted,” he said. “He was using it to work on his tractor, and separate the body from the engine, and unfortunately it exploded.” Mr Rasy identified the two victims as Chhoeun Samorn, 32, the owner of the tractor who died, and Vath Sameth, 47, who was injured while standing near the victim during the work on the tractor. Mr Rasy added that local authorities often disseminated information about the dangers of unexploded ordnance, instructing them not to touch them. read more https://www.khmertimeskh.com/50490571/man-dies-using-mortar-shell-as-hammer/ -- © Copyright Khmer Times 17/05 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxYakov Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Crucially, did the explosion result in separation of the tractor's body and engine? Anyway, RIP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange then that their average IQ is 91, exactly the same as Thailand who did not kill off their educated folk and higher than the average in Loas and Myanmar, could it be that in reality the killings have no effect on the average IQ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nausea Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 As stupid goes, this is the most stupidest of the stupid, then add some. What I don't understand is how anyone in Cambodia can be unaware that unused munitions might be dangerous. Like they're brought up in this atmosphere of danger. I suppose familiarity breeds contempt.

Another small example to backup my point. Here you see parents riding their motorcycles wearing helmets but carrying their babies only wrapped in a blanket. That's not lack of education - its a lack of brains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
