A record 128 people cross the English Channel in a single small boat, according to reports of the latest crossing. The BBC says the journey takes place on Friday, when a total of 225 migrants make the Channel crossing on three boats. The Daily Mail reports that 128 migrants arrive in one boat and that they are picked up mid-Channel after leaving France on Friday. The outlet also says the new crossing lifts the overall number of Channel crossings to more than 205,000, citing cumulative figures. The reports describe the voyage as extremely risky, reflecting the dangers associated with small-boat crossings. While the sources agree on the number of people in the record boat, they also place it within a broader day of crossings involving additional boats and people. All accounts present the incident as part of ongoing irregular migration across the Channel and focus on the scale of this particular journey and its contribution to the year-to-date crossing totals.
