Whoa



A photographer named Sholihuddin from the Java Post caught this picture outside a soccer game and won a World Press Photo of the year Award for 1996. The Java Post is very proud of the shot; they have large prints of it on the wall in reception areas. An editor told me the story: Indonesian soldiers had arranged to drive a bunch of poor kids to the game in vans, and this overloaded ride toppled. No one, incredibly, died.

More blogging on Indonesia, in case you missed it earlier, starts down here.
