73 dead in violence at Egyptian football match - RT NewsAt least 73 people are now confirmed dead following violence and a pitch invasion at a football match in the Egytian city of Port Said.
There's video footage there too. It's not clear exactly what happened from the clip, it must've been the crush that did the damage. Horrifying stuff for Egypt and horrifying for Africa which is in the middle of the Cup of Nations at the moment. Is this violence merely a reflection on the ongoing social disorder post Arab-Spring, or just a tragedy.Parallels with Heysel will be drawn for obvious reasons.
