I’m sure it will garner the kind of media frenzy that submarine with those 5 dudes did.
Submarines going down is way rarer. At that depth it’s almost unheard of.
There was a similar media frenzy when a military sub went missing a few years ago.
Yeah, but that doesn’t fit my outrage narrative that keeps me going from day to day…
Was that the one off Argentina? Had forgotten about that - could’ve put it in my post! More evidence it’s the uncertainty that drives public engagement.
Yeah the not knowing and the ticking clock were definitely big drivers of that story.
It’s not going to get that frenzy as this happens almost every week now. They had their time in the spotlight after that kid washed up in Turkey and it was in the front page, but people can’t keep being invested emotionally when it’s carried on for another decade.
The western powers don’t care about migrants, they’re busy dropping bombs and sanctions in their home countries to stop any revolution. “These children will die in the name of God, amén.”
