Migrant deaths, Sunday 14 January 2024, Do you think something must have gone wrong almost immediately?
Background of this report: “Smugglers use phone apps that predict wind speed and sea conditions. Saturday was calm and the waves were small, which is why people set out for Britain,” according to a reporter Adam Parsons from Sky!
It was reported that five people died on Sunday 14 January 2024 in the waters off Wimereux and there is no big police operation to be seen and even there is no grieving families, no incident tape or flowers found on the ground and there is no crowd of journalists found on the ground and no wreckage found. According to Adam Parsons, Europe correspondent for Sky News. “In some ways, it is like nothing happened. Except, of course, for the emotional echoes – the crew who brought lifeless people out of the water, or the unfortunate person who went out for a morning walk along the beach and found a dead body on the rocks.”
Parsons added, “Outwardly, though, there is no sign that death lingered over this pretty town. Wimereux, like much of this stretch of northern France, has long since grown accustomed to the role migration plays in its life.”
It was also alleged that the local in that area say, they… “regularly see people hiding in the dunes, or rushing down to the sea.” And that they “know how inadequate these boats are and so, wearily, they also know that, sometimes, things will go wrong.”
Parsons alleged that, “It used to be that there was a long lull in crossings during the winter months, but that trend has died away over the past couple of years.”
