    Yeah.......it was also in our local papers the other day. It happened on the Sheikh Zayed highway. About 200 cars, trucks and buses were involved in the accident. 40 Egyptians were injured in the accident.

    Sad for sure, but it doesn't really surprise me after seeing many videos of how they drive over there...

    I have an email with lots of photos, but can't upload them. The strange part is I was on that road earlier in the morning, and the fog was just beginning to settle in. Timing is everythng in life.

    In US the lawyers would be suing the dept of transportation & the weather channel for allowing fog.

    Terrible thing to happen. The police should have been around to take control of things before they got this bad.

    Yes how often does that happen. You guys have a lot to answer for. Sometimes things just happen.

    4 people dead is still 4 too many.
