Water Festival Returns To Cambodia For First Time Since 2010 Stampede Tragedy

PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA - NOVEMBER 05: Fireworks explode over the Tonle Sap river during the Water Festival on November 5, 2014 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Two million visitors were expected to attend this year's Water Festival but actual numbers seem to be much lower. Cambodia's annual 3-day Water Festival celebrates the end of the rainy season and the start of rice harvesting. It coincides with the reversal of the flow of the Tonle Sap River which occurs biannually. The festival had been cancelled for three years in a row after the stampeding incident in 2010, when nearly 350 people were killed and roughly 750 more were injured.
