It was a very sunny day, somewhere near Amriya along the Alex-Cairo desert highway, 24 km from Alexandria, around 15:18 hours, we saw heavy smoke on the side of the highway. We first thought that, someone was trying to demonstrate the latest invention of fogging machine!

We moved closer to the source and we wildly thought there was some kind of movie shooting activity with stunt scene being film. I asked Sherif to stop the car and I was ready with my lethal equipment to capture the live frame.

It was shocked when the thick smoke was blown away by the desert wind, cleared our vision, it was bus on fire!

Around 10-15 minutes later, two fire engines from the nearby petrochemical or Oil & Gas Plants came to the scene. They were very efficient.

With the help of the usual helpful and friendly Egyptians, the Fire Brigades and the Polices’ burden were abridged. The traffic and crowds were well organized and controlled.
