The following are excerpts from various news articles: "It was horror. The power went out, we heard a loud bang like an earthquake, and I thought this house had collapsed. I went out, I saw the whole mountain had collapsed," said [b]Hassan Ibrahim Hassan[/b] , 80, whose house escaped the destruction. [b]Mohamed al-Sayyed[/b] , 80, too blamed the authorities. "They had said they would evacuate the entire neighbourhood in order to set up an industrial zone. We were happy about this... but they did no such thing." Driver [b]Abdel Latif Hossam [/b] said "there had already been some landslides, slightly hurting some people." One resident, who gave her name only as [b]Umm Mohamed[/b] , showed a Reuters correspondent damage to her house from the recent rockslide. The walls were severely cracked and leaking, and clouds of dust rose from the walls when struck. "If you had children, would you want them to live here? No one paid any attention to us," said Umm Mohamed. Woman cries in Manshiyet Nasser shanty town in eastern Cairo http://lite.alertnet.org/thenews/pictures/GOT20.htm You see this pic? These people are Muslims. Anyway it does not matter Muslim or Coptic Christian - this disaster what happened is a national tragedy and only the top of the iceberg. So many more housing areas and buildings are neglected and unsafe. [/QB][/QUOTE]
