A fishing boat crowded with migrants traveling from Libya to Italy sank in Greek waters last week. While hundreds are still missing and feared dead, it has garnered far less attention and resources than the Titan rescue efforts for five people.
As unfortunate as it is, migrant boats wrecking is common enough that it’s not really “newsworthy” in terms of what grabs people’s attention. Especially on a global scale. Similar to how a murder in somewhere like Maine would make the news, but in NYC it’s just another day.

People also talk about migrants constantly, and a lot of the attention the sub is getting is hate.
