Typically people you know. Maybe even people who suffer greatly at the hands of others. Or large scale destruction. A few random people who died in an accident during a high risk activity that they chose to do? Meh. |
| I feel bad for them, I bet they didn’t know the risks. I sign “death” waivers every time my kids go to a sky zone party. Maybe they were inured to signing waivers and thought it was a reputable company. |
Just because one tragedy is more news-worthy than another does not mean we care more about one victim than the other. I may be more interested in this story than the civil war in Sudan, but when it comes to choosing between making donations to charities for hungry Sudanese or financing bored billionaire explorers' expeditions, I choose to dante to the Sudanese. |

Don’t forget the movie, perhaps by James Cameron, that’s what’s next.
I can’t imagine any company covering this expedition with insurance. |
| They found debris near the Titanic. All 5 dead. RIP. |

Late last night I read that a marine sonar expert had discounted the sounds as likely just coming from Titanic, which is actively disintegrating and pieces are constantly falling off and banging into other parts of the wreckage. The Coast Guard indicated there was no SOS in the sounds and no precision of timing either.
These guys were dead before their surface crew ever called for help. |
Incorrect. |
Please stop embarrassing yourself. It’s not as cute as you think it is. |
That’s why the sacked engineer had said the vessel needed to be cycled to failure, and scanned other than using acoustics |
Seriously? Wow. Thanks. Who knew??? What are all these other people talking about? |
Yes, of course it’s been discussed for multiple pages. |
You do you. Caring about one group of people does not exclude caring about another group of people (yeah, there are exceptions, but not in this case). |

^^^ this right here. this is the answer |
