      While I agree with the sentiment, doesn’t your own article state that immediately after the incident, multiple countries launched a group search and rescue mission which saved a lot of the victims?

      The story about the millionaires, at least to me, is less about the fact that they’re millionaires, and more about the fact that we have tourist visits to the remains of the Titanic. At this point I don’t know who was on that tiny submersible but I’m intrigued with the tech and what could have gone wrong.

      you can have interest in both. the news can’t constantly keep people’s focus on things that happen every day, people stop caring. also your own article states there was action taken.

      I guess I kinda understand your frustration but if you choose to look at everything from that angle you might as well not participate in the news, it will burn you out

      the ugly truth is that immigrants drowning isn’t news, it’s just normal business, that’s why they are trying to save the millionaires, and also why firemen send a chopper to rescue a cow stuck in ice while there are others getting chopped up a couple of miles away.
