A tourist submarine sank off the coast of Hurghada, Egypt, on Thursday, killing six Russian tourists. Local officials confirmed that 39 people were rescued. The vessel, operated by Sindbad, went down about one kilometre from shore. The cause of the sinking is still unclear. Some reports suggest the submarine took on water due to open hatches, while others say it hit a reef. The company has cancelled future trips, and authorities are investigating. This incident follows a similar accident in November when a tourist boat sank in the same area, leaving 11 people dead or missing. (PC: BBC)
