114 Haitian migrants land in Florida Keys after harrowing journey -
Jeffrey Francois, one of the passengers, told WPLG-TV that the boat was in the ocean for nine days and that the passengers feared their imminent demise on two separate occasions because of the terrible conditions on the boat and in the sea.
The migrants — 94 men, 10 women and 10 juveniles, according to the Key West Citizen — began exiting the boat before landing, opting to swim instead to Tavernier, in Key Largo. John Priddy, executive director of CPB’s Air and Marine Operations Southeast Division, tweeted, “These voyages are dangerous and not recommended” as he posted pictures of the boat and migrants.
