Personally I'd stay well away from tourist subs.

Six dead after tourist submarine sinks off coast of Egypt.

Six people are dead and four more are fighting for their lives after a recreational submarine sank off the coast of Egypt.

Russian officials have said two of the dead are children.

At least 38 tourists, all of them Russian, were on board the vessel which sank about a kilometre off the coast of the Egyptian Red Sea resort city of Hurghada, on Thursday morning local time.

In total 45 people, including children, were on board the Sindbad submarine, The Sun reports, which enables viewing of marine life and coral.

There are some reports that the vessel may have crashed into a reef......

News reports comming now are suggesting that the sub dove with a hatch open.

This even exceeds my prejudices about this tourist hotspot.

Other near miss after a tragedy.

A passenger plane has nearly crashed midair with an Air Force jet at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, just months after a collision at the same airport claimed 67 lives.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating after a Delta Air Lines plane nearly crashed midair with a T-38 air force jet Friday near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), just months after a January collision at the airport claimed 67 lives.

Delta Airlines Flight 2983, an Airbus A319 headed to Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP), departed its DCA gate at 2:55pm local time and was cleared for takeoff around 3:15pm, the FAA and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) told Fox News Digital.

Meanwhile, four U.S. air force T-38 Talons were inbound to Arlington National Cemetery for a flyover, according to the FAA and US air force.

The Delta aircraft received an “on-board alert” that another aircraft was nearby, and air traffic controllers issued corrective instructions to both aircraft, according to the FAA. The NTSB said it was aware of “a loss of separation” between Delta flight 2983 and other aircraft, shortly after takeoff from DCA.......

Now that's a bad crash.



Adelaide Metro bus hits tree at Tea Tree Plaza O-Bahn interchange

"The driver was stabilised first by SAAS and then we used our specialised cutting tools to remove the bus from the driver," he said.

Good to read the driver survived. Even given the serious injuries; it seems he was still lucky. A dozen inches further to the left...

A few more details.

Modbury, Adelaide: Bus driver seriously injured in horror crash.

Having plenty of experience with this type of bus I have wonder if this accident was caused by a jammed opened throttle which these bendy buses are known for it if the maintenance of the turntable section wasn't done properly. The engine and drive is located at the very rear of the trailer section

The other cause would be that the driver fell asleep/had a medical episode and the bus was still on the cruise control coming straight off of the O-Bahn as it shouldn't have been going anywhere near that fast at that point where you have to turn into the terminus itself.

The damage itself indicates that the bus hit that tree at full speed.

Of all the days for this to happen...
'It just went boom' | Train crashed into semi truck, spilling beer across North Texas roadway

Fort Worth police confirm no injuries were reported in the crash.

Cleaning up the hundreds of beer cans from the crash took hours, and ironically, it happened on National Beer Day.

“Did you see what the name of the beer is? Crazy Cowboy," Ortiz said.

National Beer Day is celebrated annually in the United States on April 7th. This date marks the day in 1933 when the Cullen–Harrison Act went into effect, allowing the legal sale of beer with an alcohol content of up to 3.2%, following the Prohibition era.

The ABC have a story on the report released today by the ATSB into the Sea World helicopter crash back on Jan 2, 2023.

Today's report determined the radio system in the helicopter being flown by Mr Jenkinson had "defects that limited transmission range", and "it is almost certain that a taxi call was not successfully broadcast".

"Both pilots had very limited opportunities to detect the other aircraft," ATSB chief commissioner Angus Mitchell said.
....

The report also found the reopening of a helipad in March 2022 created a "constant" and "defined" conflict point between approaching and departing helicopters, increasing the risk of collision.

The opening of the pad created a higher workload for both pilots, made it less likely they would notice changes to a helicopter on the ground, and meant the aircraft collision avoidance systems would not issue warnings.

"A member of the ground crew advised the departing pilot that the air space was clear," Mr Mitchell said.
"However, this advice was outdated by the time the helicopter took off 20 seconds later."

A change of ownership and operations in 2018 "gradually degraded existing controls of enhanced communication and in-cockpit traffic display that informed team situation awareness", the report found.

Mr Mitchell said "each individual failing was only one part" of the deadly collision.
"You need to put all of them together for this outcome to have occurred, and the outcome could not have been worse."

Plane carrying 3 people crashes in South Florida near a major highway

Updated 11:27 AM CDT, April 11, 2025
BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) — A small plane carrying three people crashed Friday morning in South Florida near a major interstate highway and railroad tracks, officials said.

The Boca Raton Police said in a social media post that several roads near the Boca Raton Airport were closed near Interstate 95 after the plane went down shortly after 10 a.m. Local media reported the plane was on fire and firefighters were responding.

The Federal Aviation Administration identified the plane as a Cessna 310 with three people on board, though it wasn’t immediately known if anyone had died. It went down about 10:20 a.m. after departing from Boca Raton Airport bound for Tallahassee, the FAA said in an email. The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating, with the NTSB leading the probe.

Fire officials told the South Florida Sun Sentinel that the aircraft appeared to have pushed a car onto the railroad tracks, leading to their closure. The fate of the car’s occupants also was unknown.
