A fishing boat crowded with migrants traveling from Libya to Italy sank in Greek waters last week. While hundreds are still missing and feared dead, it has garnered far less attention and resources than the Titan rescue efforts for five people.
Sadly its not “new” and is a story we’ve all heard every season for most of our lives. The story isn’t viral because the tragedy. Its viral because how unique the tragedy is.
Also worth noting that there’s no further story to the migrant ship. It sunk and people died. There is no ongoing search.
