  • 1000 square meter damaged.the most bad thing also when egyptian journalist did interview nt want to say who owns the company or the reason of the accdent.EGYPTIAN TRUSURE sARE REALY CHEAP.

  • violation estimated by just 0.96 million us dollars !!!! the intial estimate were 2.82 million us dollars , but ...... sory I can't explain

  • yea, they;ll get fined and the money will all go into some fat cats back pocket...

  • lol! that's Exactly what I said to my husband.

  • @my2ladybugs sounds like an excuse on their part - when ships are fully loaded like that they can't really swerve

  • my husband is stationed there, he told me about it before the news even knew about it. The cargo ship swerved to miss a smaller ship that crossed its course and was unable to get back on track in time to avois the wreck.

  • to make up for the reef they destroyed they should sink that ship as an artificicial reef and dive wreck

  • While this is bad, it's been shown reefs can sometimes grow faster after being damaged than they do while healthy, so hopefully it can fully recover.

  • I sincerely hope the captain of this ship gets the shite beaten out of him. And I guess the company will be fined....... The national park people should confiscate the cargo and get all profits

  • devastating damage to the coral... thats a crime to our coral reefs .. stop the bullshit !!!
