1 year agoI think it’s more how uncommon the situation is, the complexity and odds of the rescue, and the ‘ticking clock’ effect that came from them only having 96 hours of oxygen. Stories need to be interesting to get mass media coverage (look at the Tham Luang cave rescue - none of them were billionares), and, as incredibly bleak as this sentence sounds, a boat capsizing with hundreds onboard just isn’t interesting enough.
Not to say that that idea itself isn’t saddening
