I agree with you, its infuriating that a news story about a bunch of billionaires lost in a homebrew sub is stealing the thunder of a lot of more important, much more tragic news.

But its a less complicated story for people to latch on to, it doesnt challenge people to do something about it... thats a big reason why its overshadowing these other stories.

Also the sub story is pretty unprecedented and compelling. Even though it focusses on super rich people... i dont know, people are fascinated by disasters and deep sea exploration (myself included) and Ive never seen a story like this unfold in real time...

So I think its worth following and discussing, but I agree that it shouldnt be totally dominating the news like this.
