Manfalut train-bus collision

The Manfalut Train-bus collision occurred on 17 November 2012 when a school bus, which was carrying about 70 school children between four and six years old, was hit by a train on a rail crossing near Manfalut, Egypt, 350 km (230 miles) south of the Egyptian capital Cairo.[1] At least 50 children and the bus driver died in the crash,[2] and about 17 people were injured.[3] Witnesses reported that barriers at the crossing were not closed when the crash occurred. Quotes They told us the barriers were open when the bus crossed the tracks and the train collided with it, doctor Mohamed Samir says only 22 bodies or so came out in full and the rest were in [pieces].That is why it’s difficult for the rescuers to operate in the area.
