Egypt bus crash kills 50 children near Manfalut

Fifty children aged four to six years old and the driver of the school bus they were on were killed when their vehicle was hit by a train in central Egypt on Saturday, officials said.
The transport minister resigned in the wake of the crash near Manfalut, 350km (230 miles) south of Cairo.
The provincial governor said the man in charge of the crossing was asleep and had been arrested.
Egyptian roads and railways have a poor safety record.
An estimated 8,000 people die in car accidents each year in the country.
The head of the railway authority has also resigned.
Egyptian President Mohammed Mursi ordered his ministers to offer support to the families of those killed, the state news agency reported.
"They told us the barriers were open when the bus crossed the tracks and the train collided with it," doctor Mohamed Samir told the Reuters news agency, citing witness accounts.
An eyewitness said the train pushed the bus about 1km (half a mile) along the track.
More than a dozen people were also injured.
Distraught families searched for the remains of their loved ones along the tracks, the Associated Press reported.


Have you heard about this tragedy?
Do you empathize victims?
How do you think what is the cause of the accident?
What measures should be taken by the government?
Such a disaster could happen in Russia
?


This news terrified me. What a tragedy! Although it happened in Egypt, people are people everywhere, I'm sorry for the children. Such tragedies have to happen too often in recent times. Do people no longer value their lives and safety?((

vehicle- транспортное средство
resigned in the wake of the crash- ушел в отставку в результате аварии
