In a phonecall right afterwards they didn't confirm to launch a search and rescue mission.The people on the boat told us they were dying, we kept in constant contact with them. When we called the Hellenic Coast Guard again at 09:53 CET they confirmed to have launched a rescue operation. At 10:17 CET we were in contact with the people on board the last time.
