Collateral Damage

            In August 1973, in the campaign of secret war against Cambodia, the B-52s bombed by mistake at Neak Luong, outpost of the Khmer Rouge.The attack caused 137 civilian deaths, 268 injured and destroyed the village, and the U.S. government tried to hide the fact, preventing the leading newspaper in Cambodia go to the site. but the journalist Sydney Schanberg, one of the characters in the film The Killing Fields, made it to the people. published in a boat and the truth of the horror. Once caught, the U.S. administration offered a hundred dollar of compensation to families for every civilian killed (Is it worth much the life of a Cambodian?) And the pilot was fined seven hundred bucks U.S. for not returning to wrong man, which is very bad.
