TL;DR Summary

Protests have erupted across Greece over the sinking of a boat carrying migrants and refugees that left at least 78 people dead.

A huge search and rescue operation recovered 78 bodies, but authorities estimate the trawler may have carried as many as 750 passengers, who each paid thousands of dollars for passage on the battered vessel.
