PHNOM PENH - Authorities are searching for three missing construction workers at a Chinese hydroelectric dam in Pursat province, after pipes burst there on Saturday, causing a flash flood.
One man, who had been fishing nearby and was thought missing, has been found “safe and alive” at home in the first accident of its kind in Cambodia, at the Atay Dam, in Veal Veng district, some 100 kilometers from the provincial town capital, said Theang Leng chief of district police there.
Three workers from the dam are still missing, he said.
The accident occurred when pipes leading to the dam’s generator system burst Saturday afternoon, authorities said.
The Atay Dam is operated by the China Datang Corporation and is worth $255 million. It is scheduled to start producing electricity in 2013.
That production will now be delayed, because the water has emptied from the reservoir, said Mao San, the provincial director for the Ministry of Industry.

KI media deleted commemts that related to 1997 granade attack.
Shame!
It is meaning no justice for any supporters that died in serving Sam Rainsy political party at all.
Sam Rainsy will never find justice for his supporters at America and international court at all but in fact he use these as his passport for negotiate with Hun Sen after 15 years.
The supporters Sam Rainsy party today must accept that if you die n serving Sam Rainsy party, Sam Rainsy will not care to find justice for you at America and international courts and you die for nothing as 1997 grenade attack victims.
Current affair,
