Air Force Commander Among Dead in Helicopter Crash

Watch the video of the helicopter crash.










BY ,  AND  | the cambodia daily, JULY 14, 2014
An air force deputy commander and at least three other soldiers were killed when a Chinese-built military helicopter crashed in Phnom Penh’s Dangkao district Monday morning, according to the air force commander. One man survived the crash.
An official in the national police’s intelligence department, who declined to give his name because he is not authorized to speak with the media, said Royal Cambodian Armed Forces (RCAF) deputy commander Brigadier General Ieng Vanarith was among the dead.
“He went on a flight with the trainers to see how his own men were training,” the police official said.

General Soeng Samnang, commander of the air force, said that four soldiers were killed, including a deputy commander.
“Four died and one was injured,” he said. “Among the four dead is a deputy commander.”
Khat Sokhai, chief of Prey Sar commune, said the helicopter crashed at about 9 a.m. in a quarry in Prey Tituy village. He said an ambulance had picked up the injured person and rushed them to Calmette hospital.
A doctor at Calmette said the soldier, 27-year-old Cheng Soksambor, was able to speak and had sustained “minor injuries” in the crash.

Kem Gunawadh, director-general of state-run TVK, wrote on his Facebook page that the helicopter was a Chinese-built Z-9, 12 of which were obtained last year in a nearly $200 million loan and purchase deal with the Chinese government.
“The Z-9 Helicopter crashed into an about 20-meter deep quarry,” he wrote. “The expert groups are finding the black box.”
Correction: A previous version of this story stated that Brigadier General Ieng Vanarith was an air force commander. He was a deputy commander. Also, previous estimates put the number of soldiers killed at 5.

Hun Sen has just get rid of another officials to cover his criminals trail just like Lt.Hok Lundy, He used the same method to killed all the officials who knew about Hun Sen's criminal, this way he will escape the ICC United Nation World Court...Lt.HOK Lundy has to be Killed so he won't be able to testify before the World Court ICC!

I agree with comment 2, and HunSin will get rid off his two sun one by one too I think, so he can controll the arm force forever. Sooner HunSen has to get rid off his old wife to cover Piset's case....

It is sad to hear Hun Sen cancelling his trip to visit the accident site. He should had come to see how deep the pond is and congratulate the authorities in Sangkat Prey Sar to have this pond done well .

I surely hope these are all corrupted RCAF generals. It would had been icing on a cake if these were CPP/Youn units that responsible of killing our Khmer brothers and sisters. Usually Cambodian military commanders are responsible for oppression of our peoples. They never do their jobs of protecting it's citizen and territories. These military units are preventing Khmer youths of inspecting our eastern borders while Youn are stealing our lands.

I never feel sorry for any Cambodian military personals death since Hun Sen and Youn's agents was in controled. I only cried and mourned for Cambodian Resistance fighters in the 80's while fighting CPP/Youn forces along Thai border. I also supported and mourned the death of Lon Nol soldiers. These were the real Khmer nationalist. Currently most Cambodian military personals are controlled by Youn's agents or CPP Vietnamese puppet. When CNRP take powers and controls Khmer armed forces then I support our military.
