At least 45 migrants died when their wooden boat smashed into rocky reefs and broke apart off southern Italy before dawn Sunday, the Italian coast guard and U.N. agencies said. Survivors indicated that dozens more could be missing from the boat that had set out from Turkey. The Italian Coast Guard said at least 80 people were found alive, “some of whom succeeded in reaching the shore after the shipwreck.”
The precise numbers were hard to establish. A reporter for Italian RAI state TV, standing next to the wreckage on the beach, quoted local authorities as saying 60 bodies had been recovered. With his foot, he indicated a life preserver bearing the word “Smyrna,” a Turkish port also known as Izmir.

Oppressed people are fleeing to any safe port. It's a shame that with all the money that these rogue countrys have that its so miserable for people to live there. Some people are alyays buggerlipping about the U.S. They want a handout, and restitution. They have no idea of how good that they have it People are flocking to our southern boarder for better lives and many are hard working people. There are jobs out there if people would take them. I'm tired of these American born crybabys always whineing, when they won't get off their dead asses and find work. This country dosen't owe them anything.
