The company added that the restaurant sank more than 1,000 meters. This made the rescue work very difficult, but she confirmed that none of the crew members were injured in the accident.

The restaurant appeared in many films, including the James Bond movie, but the epidemic dealt a fatal blow to the company, as the restaurant closed in March 2020 due to the spread of the coronavirus pandemic for two years.

The company that owns it has not been able to reopen it and cover its expenses, as it has incurred huge losses in recent years.
