This article was about a passenger train that collided with the back of a second one just outside of Cairo on Saturday. Destroying several passenger cars, killing at least 25 people, and at least 55 others were injured in Saturday's accident, the official said. The train was heading to the southern city of Assuit from Cairo, and the train that got hit was travelling from Giza province to the oasis town of Fayoum.

Both articles had pretty good information about the incident, however article 1 had a much more lengthy article with more description. Both about the countrie's worst recent disaster, when a train heading to southern Egypt caught fire, killing 363 people. Article 1 talked about the Girza district while the other article didn't, Article 1 also told us that the official couldn't speak on a condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media, the other article didn't, Article 1 also talked about the most recent incident that had happen which was similar to this one, it was a passenger train barreling toward a station collided with a second train in August 2006, and killing 58 people. Finally, article 1 told us the government plans to develop the rail infrastructure. Article 2 had a picture, which article 1 didn't have which helped out visualize the incident.

I think this article was believable, however there wasn't any quotes used in both articles. This made me wonder if this article was true or not, however in article 1 it did say that the official couldn't speak because he had no authority, so it did made me tolerate it.
