ITALY: The freighter was intercepted on Wednesday while heading towards the Italian coast on
autopilot with almost a thousand migrants on board.
It was heading towards the Italian coast on autopilot. The Italian coast guard boarded the Blue Sky M freighter. 1000 Syrian migrants were discovered huddled at the bottom of the freighter and they narrated the story of how the freighter's crew abandoned it and left it sailing towards the coast of Italy.
After a dramatic helicopter operation, the Italian authorities took control of the ship and brought it into the port of Gallipoli.
The Blue Sky M had been traveling from Turkey to Croatia, but when it had passed the Greek island of Corfu, it made a sharp course change, towards Italy.
Wonders shall never end!
