Good morning to you, Gorge¹. Here's what we know so far. At least 92 people are dead and hundreds are still missing. An official's warned that the death toll² is likely going to rise. And here's what happened overnight. A ship packed with 500 people, including women and children, is reportedly?, first capsizing and then catching³ on fire. One theory is that after the vessel⁴ was running into trouble, they used flares⁵ to call for help. That might have caused the fire to break out, forcing the passengers to jump over board into the sea for safety.At this hour, coast guard, police, helicopters and patrol boats are on the scene searching for any survivors⁶ and victims. Now hundreds of migrants seeking asylum⁷ make this trip to Italy from Africa and Malice⁸? every year.These vessels⁹ are often over-crowded, but this by far is the deadliest accident this year.
