    Do you read the news or do you get your news from social media? No judgment, I only ask because I’ve seen articles about the boat sinking since it happened, I’m surprised to hear someone missed it for a second. This Titan story definitely got more attention by far which feels criminal. A handful of thrill seeking billionaires vs hundreds of poor and desperate people…

      Don’t ignore the mystery part. With the migrant boat the outcome was immediately known. The sub outcome was unknown and people love to wonder.

        That’s fair, plus the eccentric nature of “a few mega rich people tried to use a giant coffin to see a famous shipwreck and disappeared” is probably easier on the eyes than “hundreds of desperate people with no other choice drown in their attempts for a better life elsewhere”
