Sigh. I was being funny and downvoted...

I saw the BBC article and posted, and THEN read the article. Bailiwick Jersey is an Isle off of France that is not part of the UK but under a Crown Dependency.

It is the largest and southernmost of the Channel islands.

I am also apologizing as apparently, lives were lost.
