"The world woke up for 5 rich people": Netizens outrages as Titanic submarine garners more attention than Greek boat tragedy

With the week-long search for the Titanic submersible survivors concluding, internet users have started discussing the boat that sank recently. The boat was carrying more than hundreds of migrants, and it sank recently near the coast of Greece, killing around 81 people.However, the news about the boat that sank did not get much media attention, as the news was filled with updates about the Titanic submersible. This left social media users agitated, and they started sharing that people are just concerned about rich people.A social media user, @_farazhakim, shared an image in which a submersible and boat were drowning in the seas, and it was written on that, &quot;The irony—what humanity looks like 2023! The Rich vs The Poor.&quot; He shared this cartoon image with the caption, &quot;The world woke up for 5 rich people.&quot;محمد فراز حاکم 🇵🇰💕@_farazhakimI am deeply saddened by the sinking of the Greek ship and the disappearance of the submarine, but I condemn the world's attitude.

The problem isn’t the news attention with the submarine it’s the lack of attention on the Greek tragedy. They shouldn’t be linked as lives shouldn’t be equated in some kind of formula. twitter.com/itinteract2/st…Rob Turnbull@ITINTERACT2@BenKentish @montie Another silly perspective.
