The Coast Guard released a video from the search of the frogmen inside the sunken sailboat that transported migrants and sank northwest of Paros late at night on 12/24.
It is recalled that 16 people lost their lives from this new naval tragedy.
Officers of the Submarine Missions Unit of the Coast Guard are thoroughly investigating the vessel that has been towed to Naoussa, Paros.
About 80 people were aboard the fatal boat, with the rescued being temporarily transported to a hospital structure on the island.
According to all indications, the sailboat had sailed off the coast of Turkey.
This is the third search and rescue incident in the Aegean in the last three days, involving traffickers from Turkey who are transporting people illegally.
The Minister of Shipping and Island Policy, Giannis Plakiotakis, expressed his deepest regret for the loss of those who lost their lives, adding that “Greece will continue to save lives that others are endangering in the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean.”
