This reflects my feelings.
“Titan and Adriana are two vessels recently lost at sea, four days and 4,000 miles apart. The five men who lost their lives on the Titan have been getting wall-to-wall coverage in the media worldwide. Meanwhile, the estimated 700 who died when the Adriana sank off the coast of Greece, mostly women and children, have been essentially forgotten.”

@tommyyum I state that I totally agree with saving those poor people in the boats, but it's also important to analyze the context: we sadly got used to news about them, and the Titan's case is not something we hear everyday, this is probably the main reason on why it had more media coverage the latter than the first, although there are more reasons behind it, let's see things with less reactionary opinions
