This is awful. Children are among the dead.

“ CAIRO, March 27 (Reuters) - Six Russians died on Thursday and 39 foreign tourists were rescued when a viewing submarine sank off the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Hurghada, the local governor's office said on Facebook, adding that no passengers or crew were still missing.
The Red Sea Governorate said the submarine, named "Sindbad", had 50 people onboard: 45 tourists of different nationalities from Russia, India, Norway, and Sweden, and five Egyptian crew.”

Then why did the Reuters headline feel the need to single out the 6 Russians?

I've always wanted to go scuba diving around Hurghada. One of the few places I haven't gone that I'd like to do.

Russians seem to have a disproportionate amount of accidents in the Red Sea; sub sinkings, sharks eating people, coke can bombs on planes...

How is there not a failsafe that doesn't allow the sub to submerge when the hatches are open?

I think one of the last things I would want to get on/in is a submarine operated by Egyptian tour operators.

"after submarine sinks". I thought that was the whole purpose of a submarine.
