Vessel Firebird LOB in Egypt sinks

[BoltSnap]

Yes that was ONCE in a decade+. How many LOB incidents has Egypt had so far in 2025 alone?

The question is, how many people died in each incident and on the Conception?? Probably the number of deaths on the Conception is many more than on all incidents in Egypt.

Like the Conception issues, sure.

whataboutism - the rhetorical practice of responding to an accusation or difficult question by making a counteraccusation, by asking a different but related question, or by raising a different issue altogether.

The Conception fire has nothing to do with the alarming number of Egyptian LOB fires and sinkings.

The question should be what has changed in the Egyptian regulatory regime to reduce the number of sinking/fires/incidents on LOB.

The U.S. may move slowly but changes have been made sine the Conception disaster.
