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.”

A Titanic Disparity in How the World Responds to Maritime Disasters

By Amy Goodman & Denis Moynihan All travelers, whether migrants or millionaires, deserve rescue. The global response to the Titan’s disappearance should be the model for how we respond to migrant vessels in distress.

@THEDisneyGeek About your post yesterday about the 5 dead… Where is the coverage about the many who are not filthy rich?

@Fantasio I don’t know that the coverage of these 5 was because of their wealth. The coverage was more likely due to the extremely unusual situation. Right or wrong, news stories tend to be about the unusual, including miners who are trapped, kids who fall down wells, migrants abandoned in overcrowded semi trailers, unarmed civilians killed by police (sadly, not so unusual these days), lost cave explorers, etc.
