    As I said, “there was a lot of coverage of that event back in May”. There have also been untold horrors unleashed on Ukraine since then. War is hell. Russia sucks.

      My bad, I misread your post and thought you were talking about the 19 innocent people killed by Russian missiles in April of this year. Sorry, my bad.

        It’s all good. When I was a kid in the '70s, I was living on Okinawa. The bomb people would come to my elementary every year and give a speech about what not to do if we would stumble upon unexploded ordinance. 40 years after WWII. I came to age reading about the awful, and ongoing, horrors of landmines in places like Cambodia. Reading/watching news about what’s going on now in Ukraine is heartbreaking, and I can’t help thinking about the long term impacts that a traumatized population will suffer. And the following years of shit exploding when a field is being plowed or whatever. It is almost too awful to even contemplate. In light of that, I agree with you, a handful of rich assholes going missing in the Atlantic is nothing.
