Among the seven observers, two suffered from acute radiation syndrome (Graves and Young) but recovered. Years later, three of the observers eventually died of conditions that are known to be promoted by radiation (Graves of a heart attack 20 years later at age 54, Cieslicki of acute myelocytic leukemia 21 years later at age 55, and Young of aplastic anemia 27 years later at age 64). Although some of those deaths were probably latent stochastic (random) effects of the accident, it is not possible to draw any definitive conclusions from such a small sample set.[17]

An ancient Egyptian city found 6.5 km off of modern Egypt’s coastline reveals fascinating relics of Heracleion, also known as Thonis.

Thonis-Heracleion (the Egyptian and Greek names of the city) is a city lost between legend and reality.
