Maybe somewhat off-topic, but if you don't know, there is a video on YouTube published 11 months ago by "CBC NL - Newfoundland and Labrador" titled "This submersible takes passengers to The Titanic wreck. Climb in!" (see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClkytJa0ghc ) If I put myself 11 months in the past watching that video, I would probably think this company OceanGate is so professional with zero possibility of mer…
I think this is pretty well established by now.

I mean, I get it, it was a clown show. And yes, give it 15 minutes of fame, because it's the Titanic and all. But I feel like some people care about this far more than I can understand, and the news cycle on this is quite protracted. People die in stupid ways every day and this doesn't seem more egregious than most.
And rightly so - one can derive lessons on organizational culture and risk management from such incidents that are applicable to one's own life and career.

I agree. I actually rolled my eyes when people initially complained that the Greek migrant boat collapse wasn't getting as much attention. This is a one off whereas migrants die all the time. However as time goes on and the articles are STILL ongoing, after as you say the 15 minutes of fame, I have to agree that at this point in time any writer still writing about this is worthy of an eye-roll in the other direction.…
If there's something interesting in the conclusion of the story why get so hot and bothered if someone reports on it? Your reaction is strange to a story that many found interesting and may have follow up details.
Driving to work, that's an accident waiting to happen. Consider all the poorly signed roads, drivers of various states of sobriety and rage.
The sub was in use for years, they did well to engineer within their budget. There's always someone pointing out something wrong, nothing would get done if you actioned every single 'concern'

There’s no mystery, no doubt, only pain. This sub failing, well, the pain is self induced so it’s hard to feel concerned, and it’s a mystery (not a big one, ok). It’s light news.
So both have their place. They don’t have the same impact, and well, let’s hope both will be solved… faster for the migrant problem though!
