The article above discusses the tragic shipwreck that happened off the coast of Italy. There are hundreds of migrants that have died from this. The article states that the ship was sailing from Libya to Europe in which the tragedy occurred. The article also states that these migrants were forced onto the ships by gangs of prisoners or criminals. Some were even held at gunpoint.
This almost reminds me of the titanic just for the fact that people are dying from a shipwreck. The difference is that the people on this ship did not have a choice to sail. The article even states that they are headed to their death by getting onto this ship. It is truly sad that they do not have a choice. I feel almost guilty because The United States provides us with the freedoms that these other countries do not have. I really do hope that they rescue these civilians.
That's horrible! I hope the victims' families are alright and safely coping their losses.

ReplyDeleteThis is awful! Especially considering the migrants were forced onto the ship. I hope that the families of the people lost are coping well with their grief.
