Irelevant comparison. Must have missed the part where the chilean miners and the cave kids were billionaires too. That's why people cared about those stories. It's not getting coverage cause of the people on it. It's getting coverage because of how idiotic the whole situation was.

That, and the basic fear and claustrophobia that people feel when imagining themselves in that situation. While tragic, the boat was a "simple" drowning in comparison, albeit of hundreds of people.
