Egyptian Cruise Ship Sinks
An Egyptian cruise ship sank off the coast of Egypt yesterday evening. The passenger ship was carrying over 1,300 people, mostly Egyptians. It's yet not known what caused the passenger ship to sink, but speculation causes it to be due to bad weather including a sandstorm that blew through shortly after the ship departed. So far 15 bodies & 12 survivors have been pulled from the Red Sea. It is not known yet whether there are other survivors or not.
If a lawsuit is brought because the ship went down, it possibly could be brought in Egypt or Panama, and the laws of both countries should be explored. Most likely the owners of the vessel will file for a limitation of liabiility, which is successful would greatly limit their liability.
