Was that joke so poor that it was taken seriously?

Perhaps she could just re release an old song.

Think Twice (before using Ocean Gate)

But would the (potential) rescue attempts have been so extravagant for a boat of migrants.

What I was alluding too, was if the people on the submarine weren't incredibly rich, would some of the potential rescue ships have started 2-day trips to the sinking site, without the sniffter of a massive bonus fee if successful. ?

30 Albanians on a rubber dingy,...fck 'em.

I think the point about the clock ticking and time running out is valid.

The Greek Ferry disaster was a tragedy but was over the only thing left is to apportion blame.

The sub tragedy was still being played out with hopes that a miraculous rescue could be pulled off. Plus it's the Titanic the most famous maritime disaster of all time.

So not a fair comparison.

One more point

The Indian rail victims only boarded a train with the reasonable expectation of arriving a their destination.

It's difficult to read what we care about, from the media who is sitting on a sofa would appear to have about the same importance.

It was following a conversation i had with someone last week about the value of human life. And insurance companies, for example, very definitely distinguish between the value of a billionaire and the value of a pensioner on benefits.
And I would assume the rich people on the submarine were insured for a considerable amount. I bet the Loss-adjusters for the insurers are just checking whether any of the lost were in financial difficulty and weren't staging some elaborate John Darwin-type disappearance.
