Survivor of Egyptian tourist boat tragedy reveals she had to wait 35 HOURS for help and was 'ready to die' - but made a lucky discovery in the engine room A survivor of the Egyptian tourist boat tragedy have revealed how she had to wait 35 hours for help and how she was 'ready to die' after the yacht capsized in the Red Sea.
Survivors of the Egyptian tourist boat tragedy have described their horror as the boat capsized and filled with water, including Lucianna Galetta, from Belgium, who was trapped in the sinking boat for 35 hours and revealed she was 'ready to die'.
She had been on the boat with her partner Christophe Lemmens and the couple survived after finding an air pocket in the engine room at the rear of the vessel, which was still sticking out of the water.
Lucianna Galetta, from Belgium, who was one of the survivors, was trapped in the sinking boat for 35 hours.
In November 2025, the yacht 'Sea Story', which was carrying 31 tourists and 13 crew members, was hit by a large wave near Marsa Alam in southeastern Egypt.
