In this paper, we explore the analogy between the refugees' drownings in thesea and the earthquakes' occurrences and focus on the aspect that characterizesthe statistics of their spatial and temporal successions. The former is shownto parallel the spatial distribution of consecutive drowning events with thedifference that the latter exhibits short-range behavior below $\kappa = 4km$and it is characterized by scale-free statistics, with a critical exponent$\delta \approx 0.5$, falling within the range of the earthquakes' $\delta =0.65 \pm 0.20$, as well as finite size scaling beyond $\kappa = 4km$, while thedistribution of events' rates exhibits no similarity with that of theearthquakes. Finally, the events' velocity distribution is also recovered.$\kappa$ is suspected to be related to the radar and mobile network's coverageranges and thus effectively represents a cut-off in the ability of picking upsignals on drownings in the sea.

Precarious trajectories: How far away is the next refugee drowning?
