Greece has declared three days of national mourning after dozens of migrants died when their boat capsized off its shores. There are reports that between 400 and 750 people may have been on board - more than a hundred have been rescued, but an unknown number are still missing. The Greek government says the thoughts of the nation are "with all the victims of ruthless smugglers who take advantage of human misfortune".

This was a trip to death from the moment that boat left Egypt.
500-700 people packed in a small boat is a certain death since the boat capsized and sank in few minutes.. The only ones who survived were the people on the deck who managed to fall into the sea immediately. All the others in the lower decks didn't have the time to get out and fall to the sea.
