When the sub that descended to examine the Titanic lost contact, I was in California visiting my in-laws. The cable news channel they were watching (CNN or MSNBC–to me they are interchangeable) broadcast almost non-stop coverage of the rescue attempts and the background of the dive.
Admittedly I might have missed something, but I didn’t learn about the more than 600 migrants who had drowned off the coast of Greece until I returned home. Perhaps they weren’t important.
