Greek Coast Guard May Have Caused Disastrous June Shipwreck, Which Likely Killed Over 500 Migrants
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A shipwreck off the coast of Greece that killed at least 81 migrants
last month may have been caused by the Greek Coast Guard, which later
tried to cover up its responsibility. That's according to a joint probe
by several news outlets, including The Guardian, which suggests the
Greek Coast Guard's efforts to tow the vessel actually destabilized it
and ultimately caused it to capsize. Over 500 migrants are still missing
and feared dead.
