The Associated Press: Fire breaks out in Egypt's parliament
Thick black smoke billowed over downtown Cairo, and rush hour traffic gridlocked from the dozens of fire trucks that rushed to the scene. But only three trucks were hosing down the building hours after the fire erupted, apparently due to water shortages.
- ".... Apparently due to water shortages" ... How ironic!! The writer of this article is using a careful masquerading ironic sense, because I guess he is either can't believe it or he believes it but just kidding!! - post by mourad
Riot police created a cordon outside the parliament complex, located on a busy downtown thoroughfare. Tourists and locals stopped to snap photographs with cell phone cameras.
- "Riot police ..." Aren't they always "riot", isn't it becoming too normal for them to be described with "riot" as it is something unusual because of the situation!!! - post by mourad
Parliament's archive room, library and several large meeting chambers were all destroyed. Firefighters doused surrounding buildings with water to prevent them from igniting, but flames continued to rage past midnigh
- Ahh finally a bite of taste of what average Egyptians are experiencing daily ... Well, whom I kidding like the government is the one whose going to suffer such lose not the people!! - post by mourad
Parliament is currently in summer recess
- Summer recess which means north coast Marina, nice beach, beautiful bikini women, fresh squeezed cold juice or overrated wine, AC and just great time to get laid and relax ... who cares about a fire in a building!! - post by mourad
Egypt requires some fire-safety measures in buildings, including fire extinguishers, but in general the rules are not strictly enforced.
- O, and now for the bitter truth that we all know what are we going to do about it !!! .... Do you know ??? - post by mourad
