First time I read the comparison with the Med disaster and couldn't agree more.
I'm never the first one to start whining about refugee related disasters but hundreds of women & children drowning on a boat after having been in a miserable state for days on end is just the worst. Other boats had been circling it for days and apart from providing some food & water nothing was done. Maybe an attempt to tow it, which could well have led to the capsizing.
How could such a ship have been rescued? Any attempt at evacuation would have probably led to a capsizing anyway due to people moving around in a panic, unless ... the boat was wedged between two strong boats?
- philistine 3y agoNo one anywhere has mentioned that but it’s true. The amount of people meant any sort of rescue might have been doomed to failure.
