It was a horrifying moment when a police van was recently pushed off a bridge in Cairo by angry protesters. As if that was not enough, demonstrators attacked the burning wreckage, throwing stones at it.

The dramatic pictures show the van being ambushed by dozens of people before crashing through a protective fence on the bridge. It then falls upside down and then rolls onto its roof as it lands. Blood can then be seen on the ground as nearby police officers pull injured men out of the crushed vehicle.

It is not known how many people were on board and how many people survived the fall, but bloodied men were seen lying around the van moments afterwards. Unconfirmed reports on Twitter claimed five were dead.

At least 278 are said to be dead and hundreds more injured after a day of bloody violence sparked when security forces stormed a camp to clear protesters supporting deposed President Mohamed Morsi. 

Meanwhile, Egypt's interim President, Adly Mansour, declared a month-long state of emergency and night-time curfew in Cairo and ten provinces. His vice president, Mohamed ElBaradei, resigned in protest at the bloody crackdown.

According to reports, the United States has called for urgent restraint, warning that the 'the world is watching.' The state of lawlessness in the country is really horrifying!!!

timpaker: Can't the policeman reverse his car and run for his dear life?

The Egyptian protesters are taking this ish too far!

The vehicle was full of police officers. The others are still inside the vehicle

The are the plain evils religions and divisions brings.All man should live together as one irrespective of the differences.

Serious. This is what we lack as Nigerians. Nobody wants to go forward first.

timpaker:

they still would have reversed or retreated when they had the chance. That's why i love naija police

You do not get it, first you talk like there was only one policeman in the car,(see your own quote below)

Can't the policeman reverse his car and run for his dear life?

And now you change and use the word: they (plural). This is misleading; Do you realise it?

Errbody be talking bout Revolution! Revolution!!

Most revolution only lead to a state of anarchy!!!

tellwisdom: Oh lala..Were the drivers drunk??

Standing5: Seious. This is what we lack as Nigerians. Nobody wants to go forward first.

What stops you from making the first move?
We are certainly behind you!

egyptian civilians blood dey hot oo

dis guys know how to carry on a revolution

and lunatics wil call this destruction of a once beautiful country as revolution......smh

arab muslims are too barbaric.
i pray nigeria muslim will deviate from them

oh God please dont ever allow such crises happen in Nigeria.

I smell a new breed of terrorism from Egypt. Pro-Mursi supporters have been killed in hundreds and trust the brotherhood - a group of radical muslims - they wont give in easily. To think the same people, who in one voice, deposed Mubarak are the ones killing themselves??

Shame on the Arab spring!

When the rebels grabbed Gaddafi, his last words were these: Do you know right from wrong?

I guess they're now enjoying the sh'tty revolution induced by the West.


Frawzey
