deflated off tripoli
at the bottom of the boat eight dead bodies
five men and three women dead
asphyxiated crushed under the weight of 119
other people who were at

mixture of seawater and gasoline
spilled jerrycans others have

tried to get up from this cane or
death I discover a lot of shit
vomit of clothes does not diaper for baby
all are haggard dumbstruck some
cry their dead
once the transfer is complete we have
noticed their boots next to
the aquarius to transfer the
the remains of these eight people their
offer one last dignity during
three days she will be stored on
our maneuvering range before any
three hours we will water them for
preserve them to preserve their bodies
until a vessel with a
cold room come get them
I’m scared I do not understand anything I’m not
what am I doing here how can that
exist and I thought better of
prepare for all that I remember ludovic
sea juice before making it bitter my
job
I was a nurse and in parallel
sailing at a
transatlantic back with my friend
fredo is our revered master jean
stone in the middle of the Atlantic
full in the thousand eight meters of hollow
49-year-old baum who break sail from before
who tears you are forced to lock yourself
we drift until a yacht arrives
a beautiful pink gin sailboat that we
offered and applied the duty that
responsibility of all sailors in the world focused
assistance to any person in situation
from distress to the sea I lay foot to
earth a little shaken I tell myself in time
either learn the trade or they have
damn feet on a boat what and
I joined the national school
maritime superior of the first harbor
year of course were 2016 first
stage dream of kid
I embark on the flanders bee
the flanders bee of a tugboat
high assistance and rescue
sea on patrol south of Corsica
and there, during my bus, we pick up a
distress one and 13 that comes off of
libya 150 people including women and
children sinking here is my
sense ice and I send my first
application to sos mediterranean end of
stage I go back to class but there I
go to the movies and games see the movie
documentary what’s the tide but I
seen that
[Applause]
when I got home I was sick and
I said to myself and who should you also
voi pa ty that enough of a little son
of an Italian immigrant who smoked stressed
I was educated in respect of others
tt sailors’ nurses as soon as they are there
I did not insist insisted
under and Mediterranean she was after
in july 2017
I had the dark unmarked honor
for the first time aboard
the aquarius to the second rescue to which
I participated and arrived two days
after that santa lucia or no doubt
300 people there is wind there is the
sea we approach impossibility of
communicate a majority of young people
Eritrean impossible for the medic of
f masses to make a good evaluation
we start to transfer people
arrive at very weak sir very
slow but in those moments you have to
to be reactive
I pull out a little game the belt
we bring him back to the boat that
faint we’ll learn later that
there were four Kalashnikov bullets
in the belly others have limbs
broken and explain to us that the day before
at the time of boarding the time was
bad and the boat loaded too much
they refused
smugglers in charge and burst in
is at the barre à mi I land tomorrow
first campaign
here I say to myself it’s not possible it’s
good it will stop it can not exist
must it stop for good
Crazy reasons people stop dying
at sea like this and no June 8, 2010 it 18

we launch the rescues but windy
so that’s going far too far
doubt it will come back to us and there
the first people first
hands that cling to the floats and
it was like dieting
the feeling of freezing and it was very
weird on one side I spent my
rescue thought my wife thought about
fed to tell me falls paludo so no
must never fall but again me
this is where you fall you do end and there
twenty people who fall on it
it’s over and on the other hand we’re
trained one is professional and you
acted seize he landed seize he
landed seize and landed without
ceases until the bottom of the canyon
be filled with people to be
alive I look forward and I
see max my leader who will go there he
has gone overboard because too
of hands that he grasps too many hands
around his boots
I throw myself on him left hand jean
circle I am obliged to give some
punches for that his hands a
pen on unknown hands for it
loose max because max to leave for
she chews max she has she who
cling to the boats mac gets up
starboard 30 ° drowned people
we go on this person
no pulse no breathing
the nurse begins hoarded port side
drowned people let’s go let a
only available on this person who
floats vertically with the head 50 cm
under water I lean I can not do it
I feel the hair but I can not
seize because there is too much gas and
are on him senses of essence everywhere
on my gloves I have to go
far I go further there I feel my
center of gravity
that’s it I’ll go I’ll go
and not my comrade left arm
catches me by the boot
I can go further and I come to
slip a hand between his shirt and
his arm
seven people aboard no doubt not to
no pulse no breathing
full ball on the aquarius have some
shares and drowned people the others
the other castaways
these doctors without borders who takes
the relay a tension we hate one to
the sheaf because of the essence there
return at 2 o’clock in the morning on 229
people on board at that moment arrive
two ships of the Italian coastguard
who made two rescues and
is instructed to host 400
people 5:30 am transfer
finish my 629 people on board time
to go to shower
I can not remove but when I arrive
not loosened the jaws and but before
arms doubled in volume
at this time we learn that it is
Messina who will welcome us I will
sleep I can not sleep I feel
the boat to accelerate north august you
Say it’s good it was hot but it
go without security it’s going to go and no 24
hours later we hear the
statement from sir salvini who says
that he told you to close his doors to
shipwrecked we sent sicily
forward one to malta first through and
we are stuck there we drift we are where
the day before the Italian Coast Guard we
request to accommodate 400 shipwrecked and there
we are refused to land these
people made cross of right
international maritime
what does the hamburg convention do?
on rescue and search at sea
ballets like that for reasons
policies
do they realize that 6
129 people are the aquarius what that
means aquarius and 77 meters from
long it’s 12 meters wide for
eat in the morning it’s a line of three
hours to go to the toilet these
three hours we drift there is not a fart
of air it is 40 degrees the bridge is
so hot people are sleeping
the bridge we can not even walk on the
bridge we can not move
so many people and like after
each sinking the sinking start
to fade and people still talk
still the atrocity of libya
the tension comes up on board people are talking
what would I have done if I have
a country where is the war if I can not
put my family safe
I can not die my children and we
tell me you’re going to libya you can
work it’s the free zone go ahead and
the jv if i get there how to do
my family is maybe ten militiamen
who come in who rape the woman’s
one of the kids and it’s filmed for
send the family back and if the family
do not pay next time it’s a dead person
what am i doing and if i go there
only I have a man I want to work and
let me shut up for six months and put
electrodes on the balls the same
filmed and starts my only escape
only escape is this boat is
what I can not go back through the earth
and that I preferred to die at sea can
stay there what I would have done
after three days of drift we learn
that it is valence that will welcome us
in Spain can not cross the
Mediterranean
so we transfer more than 500 people
aboard two Italian ships at the station
firstly 109 people the people
vulnerable miners’ families
isolated and the computer was finally going one goes
to be able to speak finally we will be able to do
of these unknowns of known but not there
it’s the wrong time or four
hours these 40 knots of wind four
meters of hollow in a chopped sea is
short
these people who are exhausted they
sleep on the bridge vomit
convulse because they have nothing left to
to vomit we see this girl who
breastfeeds her baby for a few months at
left breast vomiting right at 22h
orders of the commander to bring in the
men who on the maneuvering beach
back are in orange bags in
plastic and are swept by the
sea packets they have no strength
we want to bring to the store
come back sorry inside and there you
have 109 human beings who at the rate of
roll in the vomit crushes one
against others and that’s when
where we hear better salvini who says
that besides these people do not have
choose the duration the destination of their
cruise
mister macron will say that it is not necessary
give in to emotion and three months more
late in front of malta
we will be entitled not to yield to the good
feelings but come
that they come wants to see them in you
go on to wax the data boots live
the hell of a shipwreck come see his
hands that tend these people that these
people who are drowning in front of us these cries
and also come on board after
meetings and these people because they
arrive naked in the true sense of the word and
we are humanly
come hear these stories come
hear his dreams his fears come see
these not human beings human
migrants are humans we have forgotten
at 80, the Alsatian Parisians
was running away with what they like the little
that they had to freeze barbarity a
short memory
what are they doing in fleeing and we
we are accused of preventing us today
to perform our duty but if
someone fall in the seine you
ask where he came from before going
search
you witness an accident of the
road and that there is a kid who moan
incarcerated in a ditch ask you
his papers call for help
it’s because I’ve been taught a month
I was at school the republic
French is because my instrument
the teacher taught me go through the
mediterranean and the day before arriving at
valence time is calm we are exhausted
we fall apart but people
start to come out and there it is them
who take care of us everyone
fate and add to it I’m at who was
pastor in nigeria maryse singer who
gets to the center of the beach
rear maneuver everyone arrives
some cry others sing
laughs crack kids do not care
we stinging cameras to
journalists he’s crying and that’s it and we
is there all together there is more age there
there is more sex there is more a religion
it’s a moment of life absolutely
indescribable
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
and that’s when we smoked
could finally meet
the second person drowned and revived
is called samuel
he is 27 years old and part of nigeria where
he was working as a house painter he
said beautiful horse and in libya I wanted
make some money and come back to the country
to begin studies in civil engineering
the shore in libya even horror same
locked up for six months no
want to go to europe the only way the
only way out was to get into that
reboot
i saw samuel on the phone yesterday is taking
Spanish classes and works by
and he hopes to have a sufficient level
next year to integrate his
engineering school we leave valence
we arrive in Marseille very ambivalent
because a lifeboat has nothing
to do there
and on the other hand we as
sailor there we realized that the aquarius on
is very small but very last link
of a chain or humans getting
mobilize and work for sos
mediterranean at a time when
politicians mess the sea these
people transpose on the ground duty
of all the sailors who is wearing
assistance to human life at sea
that’s the same moment it’s at this
moment there pardon our politicians
of an even Marseilles to Milan but
that of Peru bravo for what you
do but your anger and useless you
are not aware of the issues you
are not a global vision and the
impacts of this crisis I stop you
right now where we take for
naive true we do not realize that
italy can not manage its only that
is twenty years twenty years they do that
believe that we realize that I do not realize
that France can not create
preceding that we have economic stakes
geopolitics with libya I am
european i’m french i see well
the problems that are ours
I fully understand that it is
not the main concern of
people is so migratory wave
massive there was what is
absolutely not the case
I am aware of the sociological effects
economic that could have
do not I understand what we
do not understand and we will never understand
is that all these considerations there
not just before our humanity
