Since it happened on Monday, there have been lots of reasons going around in rumours about how and why. Some of the more out there ones include- that the gov planned it, that the former residents of the island put a curse on the island when they were kicked off to make way for the entertainment stuff and that Cambodia is too crowded because of all the illegal Vietnamese people.
The crowds are so dense at that time of year, like a pile of dry hay I don't think it would take much to set off something big, I'm guessing it was a combo of factors- panic may have broken out cos the bridge was swinging cos ppl thought it was going to break, people were probably fainting as it is hard to breath when you are in a crowd etc etc. Seems to be controversial about whether or not people got electrocuted or not. At first all the reports seemed to say it did happen, but then they said there was none. And the death toll rose to 435, but then came back down by about 100......
