I just received this announcement, and am working to find more info…

The U.S. Embassy wishes to advise the American community of Egypt that an accident occurred near Sharm El Sheikh during the night of February 11. A fire on a dive boat carrying students from Cairo American College and two teacher-chaperons participating in a CAC school trip has resulted in the deaths of two students and one teacher. The rest of the group is safe and accounted for.

Investigation of the accident is underway, though the accident does not appear to be security-related. Additional updates will be posted on the CAC website at: www.cacegypt.org.

    I know this will sound kinda geeky, but your IP address shows that you’re at UVA. Did you transfer? Holy crap, we have to catch up sometime!
