At least 25 killed in fire at Cairo train station, Egyptian medical official says

An Egyptian medical official said Wednesday that 25 people were killed and at least 47 were injured when a major fire erupted at the main train station in Cairo.

Mohammed Said, the head of the Cairo Railroad hospital, said the death toll is expected to rise.

The fire is said to have been triggered by a fuel tank explosion on a speeding train headed into the Ramsis station in downtown Cairo.

"I was standing on the platform and I saw the train speed into the barrier," eyewitness Mina Ghaly told Reuters. "Everyone started running but a lot of people died after the locomotive exploded. I saw at least nine corpses lying on the ground, charred."

The daily Al-Ahram says the train crashed and the fuel tank exploded, causing the fire, but details were still not confirmed.

The country's top prosecutor, Nabil Sadek has ordered an investigation into the deadly crash.
