What does the listing “Group Fatal” and “Group Incidents” mean?
• Group Fatal is usually associated with sea disasters incidents. When a boat sinks or several people were involved in a Fatal incident at the same time we count the total number of people involved and not list each person as a Fatal incident. • Group Incidents is the number of separate incidents listed in the database to get the Group Fatal numbers. • If you see group fatal of 10 and group incidents of 1 – This would mean there were 10 people involved in a Fatal incident at the same time and the database will only show this as a single incident. • NOTE: You may also see Group Murder and Murder Incidents – These are incidents usually involving smuggling (Smugglers beat and throw refugees overboard to waiting sharks) this keeps the other refugees in line.
