About 1400 people were onboard when it went down and as of now only 300 survivors have been found. From what I've seen thusfar the ship was not in great condition and sister ship had sunk in 1998.

i read something else about this. They said that the egyptians turned down US and Israeli assistance. They also said that the ship was insured by lloyds of london, and that the ship has been know by the insurance company to be weaker than other types of ferries.

The relatives of the victims in the sinking have attacked the firm that owned the ferry by breaking into Al-Sala, Maritime's offices in Safaga, Egypt and trashing them.
