Survivors of Egypt's worst rail disaster, in which more than 370 people died, have described their escape from the burning, speeding train. "The smoke was coming at us and we started screaming and knocking on the doors and at this point the fire broke into the carriage, so we opened the door and jumped while the train was in motion," survivor Mounir Gerges told CNN. Passengers jumped from windows and doors in the middle of the night to escape the inferno as the train driver continued for several miles oblivious to the disaster unfolding in the rear carriages.
