The El Ayyat train collision killed at least 50 people and injured 30 others on 24 October 2009.[1] The incident occurred in El Ayyat, 6th of October Governorate, located 50 km south of Cairo.[2][3][4] The official death toll has increased and might increase further.[5][6][7] One of the trains was going southward to visit the Asyut and Aswan, popular tourist destinations.[8]

A second train slammed into the first, which had stopped to allow an animal, described by various witnesses and officials as either a cow or a water buffalo, to make its way safely across.[1][9][10][11] The second train was first class and had many passengers aboard;[8] the first one was traveling light.[8] It was thought that two carriages were wrecked completely.[12]

Reports described passengers jumping out of the train, but one carriage fell on another and the two had to be separated by a crane.[5] Attempts to find survivors in the two carriages were eventually halted when rescuers concluded there were no further survivors in or under either car.[13] Carriages were cut to reach the passengers.[14] Casualties were hospitalised.[13] Searches continued throughout the night after the crash.[6]

Egyptian railway authorities immediately announced an investigation into the crash.[8] The Egyptian government was criticised for its reaction by some of the surviving passengers.[15] Dubai's daily newspaper Gulf News and Israeli publication The Jerusalem Post both suggested officials on-scene had been forbidden from speaking to the media about the incident.[16][17] The crash was first reported on Twitter, with news networks initially reluctant to provide coverage.[15]
