A STUDENT tried to calm her panicked fiance over Snapchat as her boat deflated in the Channel - just moments before she drowned along with 27 others.

Mrs Hamadami was recently engaged, and left her studies in Iraq to move to Britain to be with her fiance, according to reports.
Now he has revealed that she had been messaging him on Snapchat right up until the devastating incident.
Mohammed Karzan, who is a Kurdish immigrant living in the UK, told she said that the boat was deflating and that they were trying to get water out of it.

The devastated fiance added: “She is not in the UK, which means that she is gone. It is very sad for me, and for everyone."
“I had continuous contact with my wife and I was tracking her live GPS.
Now her heartbroken family is organising her funeral in Irbil, in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, reported.
Her Uncle, Kurmanj Ezzat, revealed that her body had been identified by a friend of her husband, Mohammed Karzan.

"After four hours and 18 minutes from the moment she went into that boat, I think they were in the middle of the sea, then I lost her."
The couple had also been messaging on Snapchat right up until the devestating incident.
She told him that the boat was deflating at that they were trying to get water out of it, reports .
Mrs Hamadami's father Nuri Mohammed Mohammed Amin has now slammed France for allowing people smugglers to treat people "like animals."
He said: “This is a tragedy not only for me but for the whole of Kurdistan and the world,” he said.
“I ask the French government to tighten their borders and stop those butchers. They are not smugglers, they are mafias. This is my only request.
“Those boats that they are using are not made for that purpose. They treat those poor people like animals. Where were her human rights?
“It is the role of the French government to have a strict procedure to stop those butchers to avoid further tragedies. And I hope our people stop even thinking about migrating using similar ways.”
Best friends Shakar Ali, 25, and Harem Pirot, 23, are feared to be among the 27 deceased.
Their friend Sanfer Ahmed, 33, told that they phoned him just before getting on the boat.
He said: “I last spoke to them early in the morning two days ago. They called me because they were just about to get on a boat.
“They were worried that it was overloaded and dangerous. They thought there was too many people for such a tiny boat.
“It may have been that they were forced to get on board. I have heard stories about smugglers with guns making people get on board if they try and back out at the last minute.
“They are brutal people'. He added: ‘I have not seen them since and they have not responded to messages.
“I have been texting them and sending messages on Facebook – but there is no answer. People say they may have died.”
CHILLING CALL
Another migrant, Mohammed Aziz, 31, also made a chilling final call to a pal while on the boat.
Peshraw Aziz says his friend told him: "It's not good, the engine isn't powerful enough – I don't know if we're going to make it."
Iraqi Kurd Peshraw - who is living in a camp in Calais - hasn't heard from Mohammad since Wednesday's conversation, the revealed.
Meanwhile four youngsters - aged 12 to 17 - are feared to have died that same day.
Riaz Mohammed, 12, Share Mohammed, 17, Palowan, 16, and Shinai, 15 - who were all pictured on TikTok wearing life vests - couldn't be reached yesterday.
But there has been no official confirmation as to whether the four teenagers are among the victims who made it safely to the UK or were detained by the French.
With 34 people believed to be on the boat, the vessel ran into trouble shortly after casting off from the French shoreline.
