TL;DR Summary

The EU Border and Coast Guard Agency, Frontex, offered to send a plane to monitor an overcrowded fishing boat that ultimately sank, with a loss of life that is feared to run into the hundreds, but received no reply from Greece. The Greek coast guard is facing increasing questions over its response to the fatal wreck, which happened some 80 kilometers off Pylos in the Peloponnese. Critics say that the Greek authorities should have acted faster to keep the vessel from capsizing.
