An exploding gas cylinder has caused a blaze on an Egyptian express train crossing the Nile Delta. Miraculously, all 600 or so passengers on it escaped injury by jumping into a thick orchard near the embankment. Reports say one of them had pulled an emergency brake valve. Eight years ago, a fire on an Egyptian train resulted in 375 deaths.
