I guess the other option to stopping would be to pull down the sunshades, flash the lights and accelerate. Works on the roads.
Well done to the crew. Would have been a few interesting moments.

Stories like this make me smile with faint nostalgia. Ahhh...the ME. Like Africa, except with Arabs.

Glad no one was hurt. Good job, Anonymous Crew. No doubt you will be punished for your efforts, somehow.

Cairo is in Africa/Egypt is not the Middle East, and Egyptians are not actually Arabs - just saying like

Cairo is in Africa, it's also the capital city of The Arab Republic of Egypt ( Egypt for short) and whilst not all Egyptians are Arab they are all subjects of the above mentioned Arab republic. In modern politics it is fully aligned with the Middle East and considered as such..think Arab league, language and religion etc. Just saying like. Apologies for thread drift and I'm very glad the crew spotted the car and managed to stop.

No biggy just file an ASR and carry on.


Well, it looks like you haven't started at EK yet if you don't understand the complete naive ignorance of that statement.

Go easy on Aim. He’s living the dream and so happy he’s not flying his beloved T.P.
He’ll learn just give him time.
