58 bodies. The two survivors are under police guard while the cops
try to track down the gangsters they believe were running the illegal
immigration ring and thought packing 62 people in an airtight container
in a heat wave was a good idea.
You'll note that the dead were illegal immigrants trying to get into the
UK. It's also worth knowing that more people emigrate from the UK every
year than immigrate. Do I need to make the obvious point about
immigration laws being inhumane and a generally bad idea?
