they should make this pedestrian bridge a one-way only bridge and build another one next to this one for the other one-way traffic. hey, it is all preventable, but no one really think this could happen. of course, it's learning lesson for cambodia! yes, over crowding and stampede can kill, you know! it's not even funny, ok!
