Wherever I look I can see news about a few very rich individuals being stranded on a submarine that was supposed to take them on a tour of the Titanic. The effort put in place to rescue them appears huge in scope.
Last week over six hundred people died in a #shripweck off the coasts of #Greece and nobody cared. Nobody even bothered to start a rescue operation until it was too late.
Stop pretending people are equal, I hate this hypocrisy.
@gabrielesvelto afaik Greek coast guards were near the boat already even before they sank, and offering help by radio that was refused

The <a href="/world/europe/greece-hunts-survivors-migrant-shipwreck-least-78-dead-2023-06-15/">shipwreck</a> that killed at least 79 people in international waters off Greece happened in search and rescue waters under Greek responsibility, Italy's interior minister said on Thursday.
@Barredo there's public evidence now that the Greek coast guard lied about the timeline and its actions:

This is not unexpected: after the shipwreck near Cutro Italian authorities also repeatedly lied about their actions, but the lies were so thin that they were easily disproved with publicly available evidence.
