There is nothing that can be done to bring back the three people who died at sea when they were trying to get back to their boat in Dwejra from Xlendi. God willing, they find the two other people who died alive and well.

But with all the talk of the cost of the exercise, once cannot help but pour out grief over the incident. People should not judge. Maybe the waters in Xlendi were calm, and the five did not anticipate the rough seas which swept them away. As mentioned, nothing will bring them back, but everyone should, at least, feel some remorse. It could have been your own family.
