    In Cambodia, the boat had far too many people onboard and it flipped over as they were traveling to a Buddhist ceremony Saturday night. They were in a contributory of the river at the time. The weather was good. No storms or rain coming down to cause problems.

    The boat had 30 people on it.  13 were pulled out safely after it topsized. Of the 17 people that perished in the accident, 14 were adult females and 2 were toddlers less then 5 years of age.
