Alexiou, concerning the deadly and criminal shipwreck off Pylos on June 14, 2023, \u201cat the time of the sinking, there was no possibility of recording\u201d (statements on 20\/6\/2023)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since June 14, 2023, when the devastating shipwreck off Pylos occurred, dozens of videos have been posted on the Hellenic Coast Guard\u2019s YouTube channel, depicting the rescue of boats (primarily inflatable ones), located at sea, and carrying refugees (including many children). Some of these videos also show cases where people were already in the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These videos contradict the claim that there was no possibility of recording, as well as the assertion that such recording was not foreseen at the time of the sinking (statements by Mr. N. Alexiou, 20\/6\/2023):<em>&nbsp;\u201cThe moment you monitor a ship, and things are relatively calm, the possibilities of the crew of the cargo ship that was there, or the crew of the coastal vessel, to come out on the deck of their ship and take photos or record a video with their mobile phones are completely different from when a vessel is in a situation of distress, and we all go into operational alert \u2013 to remove someone from the rescue procedure in order to record audio-visual material. The moment that it was reported that it is losing its engine, and we saw the situation that was created, the rescue vessel immediately entered into operational alert and started speeding towards the fishing boat to rescue them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the video footage available on the Hellenic Coast Guard\u2019s YouTube channel and the statements made by the spokesperson, we have the following questions for the Coast Guard:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1)&nbsp;<strong>Why<\/strong>&nbsp;was absolutely no video posted from the rescue operation of the devastating shipwreck off Pylos, unlike in dozens of other cases of detection and rescue (see videos below)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2)&nbsp;<strong>Why<\/strong>&nbsp;was the video footage, reportedly recorded by the captain of PPLS920 using his mobile phone from the ship\u2019s cameras, and later broadcast on Mega TV news, not posted with the Coast Guard emblem?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"\u039d\u03b1\u03c5\u03ac\u03b3\u03b9\u03bf \u03c3\u03c4\u03b7\u03bd \u03a0\u03cd\u03bb\u03bf: \u03b1\u03c0\u03bf\u03ba\u03b1\u03bb\u03c5\u03c0\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc \u03b2\u03af\u03bd\u03c4\u03b5\u03bf \u03b4\u03b5\u03af\u03c7\u03bd\u03b5\u03b9 \u03c4\u03bf \u03c3\u03ba\u03ac\u03c6\u03bf\u03c2 Adriana \u03bd\u03b1 \u03ba\u03bb\u03c5\u03b4\u03c9\u03bd\u03af\u03b6\u03b5\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y3UJlcZ6H4Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
