In International News... Heading to the tiny island of Lampedusa, African migrants

were loaded on fishing boat, heading to Europe in hopes of a better

life. However, sadly they never made it. While onboard, someone

attempted to get the attention of passing ships by setting a fire. As

flames spread quickly and drastically, the people ran to one side of

the boat, causing it to collapse. This led hundreds of migrants to

fall into the Mediterranean Sea. (SADLY) Most could not swim,

and therefore drowned.
