Fort Frances Man Survives Trip to Egypt

A northwestern Ontario man is back from Cairo where he says he saw humanity at its worst.


Tristin Hutton says it was chaos on the streets.

The 44-year-old from Fort Frances says he watched rolling battles between police and protesters from his hotel window.

Police used water cannons and tear gas on the protesters who set fire to police vehicles, and fought back with rocks and bats.

He says he didn't see anyone killed but talked to people who did and saw pictures of people being crushed by police vehicles.

The bush pilot was in Egypt on holiday and was visiting his sister who works at the Canadian Embassy.
