I don’t know many details on the loss there so I do not know if they were able to be saved or if they would have been assumed dead before the coast guard could have responded. Maybe the coast guard there just doesn’t care?
Can’t really compare either of these situation because they differ too much. Ask the Greek coast guard why they didn’t make an effort.
There’s a Sea Shepherd ship captain, Pia Klemp, facing twenty years in an Italian prison because she rescued drowning migrants. Because, in government terms, by bringing them to safety on land she smuggled aliens into Italy.
And she’s just one of the most well known cases in the West. A fisherman in Greece got 280 years in prison for piloting a single ship of migrants to shore after the actual smugglers fled the ship.
Saying the governments of Italy, Greece, Turkey, etc, don’t care about migrant lives understates the situation. They want migrants to die at sea, and they punish people who bring them to land.
The coast guard has never charged for search and rescue. This was not an ambulance ride.
There is a coast guard where the titanic sank but not where the immigrant ship sank near greece?
Why would the US coast guard be near Greece?
Greek and turkish coast coard obviously.
You don’t pay for ambulances in Greece and Turkey.
