Cambodia's Diamond Bridge, where more than 350 died in a horrific 2010 stampede, is being torn down, according to the Phnom Penh Post.

The construction of two other nearby bridges, which lead to the same island, partly explains the bridge's early demise.

But an AFP report suggests its dismantling is explained, in part, by a widespread preception that the bridge is cursed.

Since the tragedy, the bridge has been used "only reluctantly by superstitious locals who thought it brought bad luck," according to the report.
