Crew Escape Egypt Liner Blaze

Nearly 60 crew members escaped a fire which raged aboard a Panamanian-flagged passenger liner off Egypt's Red Sea coast.

It was unclear what caused Tuesday night's fire. One crew member was injured and treated aboard another ship. No passengers were aboard the ship, which was heading from the port city of Suez for Saudi Arabia, but caught fire off the coast of Hurghada, 225 miles to the south. Link.
