Sixty people die when Russia bombs a Ukrainian school and it passes by without much reaction. A sub with 4 people who know the risk of what they’re doing and a billionaire thrill seeker goes missing and it’s news to follow hourly.

I understand the sentiment but I think the attention is because of the novelty of it being a submarine and it being connected to the Titanic.
