Full details about the victims’ identities have not yet been released, but the Russian consulate in Hurghada confirmed that two children were among the deceased.’We express our sincere condolences to the families and friends of the victims,’ the consul said. ‘At present, seven Russian citizens, including five minors, remain in Hurghada hospitals. According to doctors, their condition is not alarming.’One tourist, named Regina, was with her two children, nine and ten.’We were saved by the fact that we were on the top of the submarine, we did not have time to go inside,’ she said.’We were queuing at the boarding, when the submarine began to sink into the water.’The Egyptian who was responsible for loading shouted ‘Stop, stop!’.’But naturally no one inside heard him.’He shouted to us ‘Faster, faster, go to the pontoon’ from which people were boarding.’ A rescue boat arrives to recover the sunken tourist submarine ‘Sindbad’ off the coast of Hurghada in Egypt on Thursday The regional governor said that all the passengers who were on board have been accounted for. Six died in the tragedyShe told Baza media outlet: ‘We pushed the children out.’I understood that I would not be able to climb onto the pontoon itself. I tried to swim away from the submarine.’I was afraid that I would be pulled under it because of the currents.’I swam away, sat on the structures that were built around the pontoon so that they could moor here.’From there I moved to the pontoon itself.’She said: ‘This is of course a very big tragedy.’I can’t put into words how difficult this situation was.’There was not a single life preserver, no lifebuoys, no vests, nothing at all on the pontoon itself.’Rescue boats began to approach.’There were no medics among them.’The police and all the surrounding people tried to get people out.’The submarine did not fully sink, it simply descended into the water at the moment when people were getting on board, and the hatches were not battened down.’That is, the whole tragedy happened because of the mistake, in my opinion, of one person who began the descent without making sure that all the people were in the submarine itself and that all the hatches were battened down. The submersible sank off the marina of the Sindbad Club Hotel this morning.
