As can be seen, the Turkish coast guard boat speeds up to catch up with the dinghy. One of the immigrants is heard saying, “Should I call my man to Greece?” and another replies, “Not yet, wait.”

After a few seconds the Turkish crew throw a life buoy with a rope at the migrants in order to reach the boat. At that moment, the pilot of the dingy appears to be slowing down, but suddenly increases its speed in order to surprise the Turks and to continue the course of the boat to Greece.
