As you may or may not have heard, the chief of Cambodia's National Police was killed in a helicopter crash. What you probably did not hear was that the crash happened not only in Svay Rieng province, but in Romduel district, just a few kilometers north of my house.
I was in Svay Rieng town overnight, staying at a wat for the Katan Festival, and I haven't been back at site yet. So I don't know what's been going on up there today. But this is Big News around here; the chief was a rather infamous figure in Cambodian politics.
There was a big storm last night, and that's more than likely what caused the crash. But the news is reporting that some eye witnesses saw the chopper's tail on fire before it hit the ground, so the government is going to be doing some serious investigating. I'll try and get an update up as soon as possible.
