Vessel Red Sea LOB sinks, all rescued

[living4experiences]

I'm not surprised. It's been a couple of months since the last incident, so it was time for another sinking in the Red Sea

I thought the same thing--April, I think . . .

You know, sinking sounds so harsh. Can't we just say that they had a slight problem keeping the ocean on the outside of the boat?

My attempt at an ongoing list for the Red Sea, may not be complete or fully accurate. I was on the RSA I for 2 weeks in 2016, before it caught fire and sank in 2019. @Dan and I were strongly considering going to Sudan in 2023 but switched to Malpelo due to Sudan's instability. It turned out to be a good move.

I'm sure there is still plenty ocean outside of the boat?

When is KSA going to get it together and start promoting liveaboards?

Did you see how they organized Hajj this year? They have been doing it for decades and they still suck at it. I was hearing horror stories from Hajjies earlier today about how most terrible the way KSA handled Hajj this year.

Forgot about that. Right.

Scratch that idea.

Over 20 years. How many people died as a result of gun crime in North America since 2003? How many people died as a result of RTAs on Europe since 2003 ?

How many people are actively participating in road traffic in Europe?
How many people have free access to firearms in USA?
Apples to apples.....
So, how many people died in rest of the world while on LOB?
Red sea does have disproportionate amount of LOB accidents.
