I find it strangely hard to care about the fate of a handful of multimillionaire tourists when hundreds of refugees died last week due to the indifference of the Greek authorities - and the media barely noticed.
I am, however, enjoying the gradual turn from the search and rescue efforts to assigning blame and pointing out all the noted issues with the vessel that went missing - and the pushback from people saying it was completely safe.
History repeats itself.
We should all just be glad that James Cameron wasn't on board. Imagine never getting another one of his movies because he Heart -of-the-Ocean'ed himself.
