Unknown Sea Story lob sinks

I am fairly confident we will be refunded, we booked through Liveabord.com.

Yep. Liveaboard.com refunded me too once.

What about plane tickets?

Hoping trip insurance covers that.

Maybe the Egyptian authorities are suspending the operator pending a review ?

It’s what would tend to happen elsewhere …

I certainly hope so.

Higher chance of getting bacon butties for breakfast at Cairo airport.

Suspended until the operator pays someone off more like.

So, it's coming up on 10 days since the Sea Story sank. How did the Sea Story sink, hit by a huge wave, inherently unstable, ran aground, a combination? How were the 28 people rescued on the first day and who rescued them? Why did it take so long to rescue 5 more people from the wreck and retrieve 4 bodies? The search for the 7 people missing has been called off, I assume they are gone. Will there be an accounting of the 44 people on the Sea Story? I have seen nothing at all about the American passengers. I hope we will hear more from the survivors. Things seem to go silent soon after events like this.

The other thing that doesn't make sense to me is part of what @iain/hsm mentioned upthread. If it was a huge wave or environmental did all these boats moored around the Sea Story report a similar phenomenon yet somehow they escaped unscathed or did they all just show up later (moving sites overnight maybe?) and tie up near her after she had already sunk.

I doubt that you will hear the full story from any official sources as they do in the US.

Perhaps I missed it, I don't recall hearing whether the Sea Story was moored or not. Were there other boats moored or located in the immediate vicinity of the Sea Story at the time of sinking? Who actually rescued the first 28 survivors? In prior, similar events, there have often been photos/videos taken by people on other boats in the area, including rescuers.
