I have to say I'm not sure what they were hoping for, the discourse hasn't felt overly mean by internet standards, but maybe that's just my bubble. I'm sorry they died, but now that we know all the details it's a bit like the guy that decided to hike up a lava field last year.

Also,

People's fascination with the wealthy is fuelled by both curiosity and envy. And when rich people find themselves in trouble, it makes the rest of us feel better, Pamela Rutledge, director of the California-based Media Psychology Research Center, wrote in a piece about social media and the submersible for Psychology Today.

I feel like "outrage" should be in there somewhere. It makes me mad that people can be that dumb with a quarter of a million dollars while I'm just glad to have a safe roof over my head, and other people (like the mentioned boat migrants) aren't even that lucky.

Alright, back off my soap box.
