Submarine Sinking in Red Sea Kills Six, Injures Nine

A tragic incident occurred when the Sindbad submarine sank off the coast of Hurghada, Egypt, resulting in the deaths of six Russian tourists, including a music teacher and her two children. The submarine was carrying 45 passengers when it began to take on water while loading, leading to a significant rescue effort that saved 39 individuals. Among the deceased was anaesthetist Dr. Ravil Valiullin, whose family was also affected, with his wife and daughters surviving the ordeal. Authorities are investigating the crew's actions, which may have included leaving the hatches open during boarding, and have temporarily banned all submarine excursions in the area. Eyewitness accounts suggest that the submarine had been in poor condition prior to the incident. This disaster has left several children orphaned and raised concerns about safety regulations in the Egyptian tourism sector.
