16 of 56 migrants off the coast of Turkey perish in a boat capsize after they got their dinghies caught in the channel between Turkey and the Greek island of Lesbos.
Apparently, their small dinghies were just not big enough to hold up all of the migrants which piled in, and the rough seas in the Lesbos channel did them in.
Lessons learned: never taken on Lesbos if your dinghy is too small and just not up to the task.
