Because the people smugglers the migrants paid for the trip are criminals and are not really bothered about what happens after they've trousered the money, and if the authorities helped criminals where every criminal act went awry criminality would escalate dramatically.
If they can't stand the heat (self imposed risks) stay out the kitchen (Europe).

It's a case of "if you save them, you keep them" and no one wants 700 refugees.

ive seen so many instances (military drones etc) where its all controlled by video game controllers, normally xbox ones tbh but game controllers none the less. I just hope they put hall effects in it
I'm still confused why people are meme'in on it, there are probably better ways but if it works it works. That particular one there is a fine example of of the pinnacle of ocean tech.

Because it's only happened once, have a sub disaster every week or two and people will start to ignore them.

because it is something people understand and recognise so they focus on that, rightly or wrongly.

Not so much meme'ing the controller - but that advert made me chuckle

Akshually I'm discussing the controller post implosion which has not yet been discussed, as everyone has been focused on it being used as a controller
seems like a deal as well

Where's the 100 page thread of the Greek shipwreck? Can't find one.

Last week’s shipwreck in Greece is one of the worst tragedies there has ever been on the Mediterranean Sea. The coverage it received has been scant

If you genuinely believe that there is as much to discuss with that incident and that it is just as interesting an occurrence then why don't you start a thread?"A frantic rush to save five wealthy people versus a shoulder shrug at the idea of 100 kids dead at the bottom of the sea"

If you're in a submarine then you're not in frequent contact with anyone.

When everyone rallied around to save those children stuck in the cave in Thailand that captured everyone in the same was as this sub, how many of those where billionaires?

More finding interesting what people and the media cirrus find interesting.
Did you start one? If not then why?

I personally don't believe the interest in this is soley down to those involved being wealthy - I think that's a nonsense and a cheap shot to feed Guardian readers et el."A frantic rush to save five wealthy people versus a shoulder shrug at the idea of 100 kids dead at the bottom of the sea"

It's a rather unique accident and has the draw of interest that is the history of the Titantic. There was also the chance of a high stakes successful rescue.
"Another" migrant boat sinking doesn't really get folk that interested - whether you like it or not. If you look through recent news stories there's been a strange increase in the number of maritime incidents with a reasonably high death rate.
Had the Titan not been lost, I'm sure the Greek tragedy would have had considerable more interest as wasn't there a question over was the local coast guard towing the boat when it sank?

As I mentioned above, the Thai cave incident with the trapped kids had the same exposure, the same dilema of time running out/difficulty of being extracated etc and all the same depth of interest.. and the only billionaires in sight where those offering help.
