"Thousands of would-be migrants attempt to make the hazardous sea crossing from Africa to the Canary Islands or Spanish mainland each year.
Some 7,000 migrants have reached the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean this year alone, but many die while attempting to make the perilous journey."(BBC).

And these poor bastards even 'went' for the wrong continent...

It's the sea that takes, yes, but it's the world in its cruelty that rules.
