Tragedy at the Sphinx

We visited the Pyramids and were on our way down to view the Sphinx but were prevented from doing so by a police roadblock.

The story we heard at that time was that a tourist bus had rolled over and killed 23 people.

It later turned out to be an army truck which rolled over.

Our resourceful guide took us to his friend's hotel, where we could view the Sphinx from the rooftop lounge.

A minor disappointment for us, but a life changing tragedy for many others.

This is the only report I could find on the net.

A view of the truck involved.
