Cairo Airport crowded and slow because of Mubarak trial

Ahram Online, Monday 15 Aug 2011

In the first session of Mubarak's trial some passengers lost their flights as they were mesmerised by the trial playing on the airport lounge TV's; apparently today's second live trial is just as mesmerising

Many passengers and employees gathered near the screens in cafes and lounges at the Cairo Airport and to watch the second session of deposed president Hosni ‎Mubarak’s trial, which is currently broadcasted live. ‎

One of the Cairo Airport officials said: “All screens are displaying the Egyptian Space ‎Channel so everyone can follow the trial.‎

‎“Some employees are commissioned to notify the passengers when their flights ‎will take off. Many passengers missed their flights during the openings ‎session on 3 August.”‎
