You may have heard about the boatloads of people fleeing from Africa to Europe. If you were like me you might have assumed that they were making landfall on mainland Europe. Seems that is not the case. Seems a large number of them are landing on Lampedusa on account of it being the bit of Italy closest to Africa. Lampedusa is tiny. I've spent some time looking at the Mediterranean on Google Maps and I've never noticed it before.

20 B52s with bellies full of bombs, should be able to clear off the surface with 1 or 2 passes. Worth a try. Then let it refill and do it again.
