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

Seems pretty obvious. Only Russians died.

But if I do it sure as shite won’t be captained by the Egyptians and named Sinbad.

They need to stick to leading tours of the pyramids, and stay away from the water.

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

Europeans love vacationing in mooslim controlled North Africa. No thanks

I can only imagine the fragrant smells one can experience inside an Egyptian sub.

I'm reading a pretty good autobiography written by a British ship captain that hunted the Nazi boats and defended the shipping convoys in WW2 called U-boat Killer. An interesting, less covered part of war.

I think one of the last things I would want to get on/in is a submarine operated by Egyptian tour operators
. It's not their lack of safety protocols that scares me as much as their lack of the use of deodorant.
