[quote=Anonymous]I think people are focusing on the rich because of the massive resources being allocated to save them when not rich people die everyday in tragic circumstances where no one cares. I think it has more to do with the extreme nature—similar efforts were made for the Chilean miners and the Thai soccer team, both of which were poor. But it’s a weird human trait that we will hyper focus on people in these disasters but the day to day tragedies, we can’t wrap our head around. I do like the PP that coined the rich people who seek out dangerous unique experiences as The Jurassic Park experience. Ironically, some of the dead on the Titanic also had the syndrome — they wanted to brag that they’d been on the biggest, fanciest ship. I think it’s one reason why people are fascinated by the titanic rather than the other ship that have sunk (like the Itata). Rich people in pretty clothes with famous works of art sank — it makes for a very nice looking movie. [/quote]
