#2 with the use of small subs we could get that number up quite a bit.

#7 These numbers should be widely publicized in Africa. You can look at the downside which is that 80 percent of them made it. But in Africa it should be emphasized that you have a 20 percent chance of dying if you make this journey.

#8 Damn shame. Europe should invest in more coastal defenses.

#9 you have a 20 percent chance of dying

OTOH, it's a worse rate than the 'rona.

OTOH, where they are trying to leave from doesn't pay welfare like Eurine land does.

#11 Yes, but of the less than 80% who survived (20% is the count of bodies found, not of people lost), how many were returned to Libya rather than transported to Europe? The article does not say.
