Books – Muhammad Shaaban:
Just steps away from one of the gates of the Sanctuary of Science, Cairo University, attention turned to a new traffic artery added to the road network that is being built on the guarded land to remove condensates, but an accident took our breath away on Monday.
At two o’clock in the afternoon, the sound of a solid object hitting the ground was heard, causing a state of panic, especially the arrival of police cars and ambulances in front of the Faisal metro station, causing everyone to rush to discover what it was.
The blood of workers who went out in search of a living was mixed with concrete blocks, creating a shocking scene when a concrete block fell on the newly formed Kamal Amer team axis.
Immediately upon being notified by the Operations Room of the Rescue Police Department, the Assistant Director of Giza Security for the Western Sector set off for Al-Balagh – after a long evening of ambushes and church security forces on Christmas Eve – with him.
A security cordon was imposed by the department commander in coordination with neighborhood officials, and the ambulance service men were busy transporting the injured to Umm al-Surrayen Hospital in an attempt to save them, while their eyes did not leave the sight of their colleague’s body covered on the ground.
Examination and inspection under the supervision of Major General Hani Shaarawi, Director of Criminal Investigations in Giza, revealed that a 20-meter-long concrete beam had fallen while it was being installed in the link between the two axes of Saft El-Laban and Lieutenant General Kamal Amer.

The accident resulted in the death of Mahmoud Abdel Nabi Mahmoud, 33 years old, resident of Qalyubia, working for the Arab Contractors, while the following were injured: Eid Saber Sufi, 50 years old, resident of Fayoum, Ahmed Kamal Fathi, 34 years old, resident of Shubra, Ahmed Ramadan Wahba, 52 years old, resident of Manshiyet Nasser in Cairo, Yousry Helmy Al-Sayed, 49 years old. One-year-old resident of Shubra El-Kheima, Qalyubia, and Mustafa Mohamed, 43 years old, resident of Shubra El-Kheima, work at the Arab Contractors Company.
The police forces, led by Major General Muhammad Al-Sharqawi, Director of Investigations, arrested the winch driver who caused the accident, and attributed the reason to the fact that while installing the concrete beam, it separated and fell on the workers.
