Maltese armed forces on Tuesday (October 22, 2013) released dramatic video of dozens of migrants rescued from the sea off Malta on October 11. The video taken from a Maltese military aircraft which earlier spotted a vessel in distress shows the migrants swimming and floating in the Mediterranean Sea 118 nautical miles from Malta and 60 nautical miles from Lampedusa after their boat capsized.
Dozens of people drowned when the boat carrying around 250 migrants flipped over. Italian media said that the boat capsized when panicked people aboard waved for help.
