United even in death: Heartbreaking underwater image of drowned young couple clinging to each other after boat from Africa carrying up to 400 sinks on way to Italy

Clinging to each other in the shadow of the sunken hull, this young couple are united even in death.
Harrowing underwater footage of the migrant ship that sunk killing more than 300 last September has emerged, following another tragic shipwreck off the coast of Lampedusa.
As police divers explore the sunken wreck, the bodies of those that did not survive can be seen on board and scattered on the surrounding sea bed . 
In one heartbreaking image a young couple had remained in a loving embrace even as they drowned.
This week a boat carrying hundreds of migrants sunk 100 miles south of Lampedusa. Despite desperate rescue attempts, at least 17 migrants drowned, with many more still missing. Last week at least 40 perished in another wreck when their trawler sank off the coast of Libya.
The release of the footage following the new tragedies recalls the full horror of last year's wreck when rescue workers described 'a cemetery in the sea'.

As am typing this right now, I know there are thousand somewhere preparing to make this suicide mission.. To them I ask "to what purpose?". Everyday people die in the sea while struggling to make it to Europe and Australia; we only hear the ones reported on the media but am sure there are thousands of these mishaps not reported.

I know where you are right now might be so bad your only option would be to leave but think it twice, why jump from frying pan to fire? Think it twice.. before you choose to make that journey.
