A week before this submarine exploded, a boat capsized near Greece. Between 400 and 500 persons died. In both cases, it's a tragedy, but I have much more empathy for those who fled (mostly from Pakistan and Afghanistan), struggled for weeks or months on a very dangerous path, and hoped for a better life in Europe. Their deaths were probably much more painful than the crash that suddenly ended the lives of the Titanic tourists.
There is still a mist of mystery around the refugees deaths: the Greek coastal guards had been cruising near the boat, and they have changed many times their story of it. They finally admitted that they tried to tow her, but deny other claims from reporters, NGOs and even the European coast guards. There's a suspicion of unintended mass-murder, or at least (racist?) negligence. Shouldn't that draw as much focus as the failures of a submarine company?
I know that news coverage is unfair. I believe that most people don't even realize that they're biased on this — we all are in different ways. It's the same with Russia: I think most people are sincere when they say that this war is unprecedented, that our human values are at stake in this war, and that UN and international justice should act against Poutine. Ever heard of the mote and the beam? In a near past, USA invaded Iraq. And today, our country leaders lick the boots of MBS, the dictator of Saudi Arabia that started a war in Yemen which killed 380,000 persons, and who ordered thousands of bombings on mostly civilians targets. The irony is that MBS' order of chainsawing an opponent brought him trouble, while this bloody war and the regular decapitation of dozens of opponents went almost unnoticed.
