Myanmar pagoda drowning claimed 15 lives

By Nidz Godino

"We normally allow  people to come at 6:30 in the morning but they would not listen to us and started trying to walk across too early," local official Nai Sahai Eain told media at least 15 people drowned on Sunday while crossing a flooded causeway in Myanmar to reach Buddhist temple for a festival.The tragedy unfolded as thousands of worshippers tried to reach Kyeik Hne pagoda, which lies on a rocky outcrop around three kilometers (two miles) off the coast near the town of Thanbyuzayat in southern Mon state.

Local officials said some died when they tried to cross the poorly marked causeway, which is only around four meters wide, while the tide was too high.

More drowned later when they were jostled from the crowded walkway into the sea.

Emergency  resquer claimed 15 bodies had been taken to hospital and three people were still missing.

The  causeway was not marked out clearly enough, making it hard to navigate.
