    I think that is because the sub incident had potential to have a happy ending…for at least 5 seconds. Also it is linked to a popular tragedy. Whereas the people dying on migration and human trafficing are inherently horrible and its just depressing to read about it.

      You realise had the same time and effort been used to rescue the people from this incident, many more lives could have been saved right?
