CCTV video has been circulated online showing the moments that led to the deadly train crash that killed 20 people and injured 43 others on Wednesday in Cairo.
The footage shows that the locomotive was left unattended at a train yard after its driver jumped out to speak with the conductor of another train that crashed into the first locomotive. The locomotive then sped off towards the railway station as its engine was left running when it was abandoned by the driver.
