In the Red Sea of Egypt, a team of a tourist underwater tour managed to escape when the ship began to flow – even if some tourists on board were unlucky.
Like the Bbc Reports, the authorities question the crew of the Sindbad submarine after having founded during a visit to the coral reefs near the seaside town of Hurghada, in southeast Egypt.
Of the 45 passengers aboard the ship, six tourists – including two children – died during the sinking and nine others were injured. When the authorities came to save the submarine, 39 people and five crew members were saved, notes the report. Two of the tourists who died were a married couple of doctors, and their daughters, devastating, are in hospital in critical condition.
According to statements by the Governor of the Red Sea, Amr Hanafy, the Sindbad crew was all Egyptian and his passengers praised India, Norway, Sweden and Russia. In one way or another, only the Russians died during the incident, and we don’t know what happened.
Unlike the Oceangate debacle almost two years ago, the Sindbad Submarines Company apparently had a strong reputation and had been in service in the seaside resort of the Red Sea for years. According to Hanafy, the submarine was authorized and its chief crew member had obtained all the right certificates to exploit it – which makes the tragic incident abroad.
Tragically, this is not the first maritime tragedy to hit the Red Sea in recent months.
At the end of November, the Bbc Note, the tourist yacht of “Sea Story” capsized with more than 40 people on board while he sails near the seaside resort of Marsa Alam, located about 200 miles on the Hurghada coast. As Diving magazine It was noted, it took 36 hours to save the surviving passengers from the yacht, and four bodies were removed from the shipwrecked yacht. Seven are still missing and presumed dead.
Between the orca attacks and the big titles on the ships and the submarines flowing, it is surprising that anyone who does not have to take the sea – but there again, the flight is not much better late either.
