2010 Christmas Island boat disaster
On 15 December 2010, a boat carrying around 90 asylum seekers, mostly from Iraq and Iran, sank off the coast of Christmas Island, an Australian territory in the Indian Ocean, killing 48 people aboard; 42 survivors were rescued.〔(Death toll up to 48 in Christmas Island shipwreck ). CNN. 20 December 2012〕 The boat was later named ''SIEV-221''.
==Incident==
At about 6.30 a.m. local time the boat collided with rocks at Flying Fish Cove and was then smashed against the nearby cliffs, complicating rescue attempts.〔
For a period of about one hour, the unpowered boat was washed back and forth as backwash pushed it away from the cliff. Many of those who entered the water grabbed onto the flotsam and jetsam as the boat quickly broke up.〔 Residents tried to help victims by throwing them life jackets and other objects.〔 Some refugees were battered by the debris from the disintegrating boat and some were able to use the life jackets thrown from the shore.〔 Rescue efforts by Australian Customs and Border Protection included allocation of and ACV ''Triton'',〔 with at least 42 survivors having been recovered from the ocean.〔 One man was able to scramble ashore himself with a great leap. Poor weather conditions made rescue operations difficult.〔 Two critical care teams from the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia left from Perth to provide medical assistance.
