It was a grim night on the airwaves, as the nation’s talking heads covered the tragic accident that occurred in Giza yesterday, when a microbus slipped from a Nile ferry into the water killing 12 and leaving five missing. The accident occurred when the driver of the microbus got into a verbal altercation with another driver, as the ferry was crossing the Nile. This led him to leave the microbus without applying the hand brakes, leading the bus to slide into the water.
