The migrant ship has been all over the news. It’s a major global news story, not something nobody is batting an eye about.
If this was just a case of a few rich people dying at sea, it wouldn’t have gotten much coverage. Rich people sailing their boats are lost at sea every year, and it’s barely a story. The reason this case is getting so much coverage is because A) it’s associated with the Titanic, and more importantly B) it’s a race-against-time rescue mission. Which almost always becomes a media circus. It’s the reason why the Thai kids trapped in the cave got vastly more media coverage than the hundreds of Thai children who die in traffic accidents every year. It’s not as though the cave kids were rich.
Here you are participating in a thread about the billionaires in a sub, while it doesn’t look like you’ve been similarly engaged in discourse about the migrant ship. So you seem to be one of the people who find the former more interesting. Does that mean you care more about the lives of billionaires than migrants?
