Hundreds Perished....
As a mediterrian ship capsized carrying over 900 migrants on Sunday, April 19, 2015. This was reported as one of the most tragic ship accidents transporting migrants ever. News media reports that as many as 700 are feared dead, and the body count may continue to grow. The ship was said to have capsized due the it's large cargo of humans aboard. Hundreds drowned as the ship sunk in the sea's waters. The accident happened near Libya as smugglers were taking migrants to Europe. The European Coast Guard reported saving at least 28 people, from the estimated 950 on board the ship. This latest castrophe was said to have followed one a week before when at least 450 migrants were killed by a boat accident. Many of the African migrants are seeking refuge from poverty, and war conditions and terrorists threats. The European government are reviewing ways to lessen the dangerous journeys migrants make, and looking for a better solution to address multiple drowning ships with human cargos.
