Did the submarine take top billing in the headlines for a few days? Sure. But if anyone is looking for reports on other issues, those reports are very much out there. Sounds to me like some of you need to source your news better. Instead of following headlines, try looking for the news you're seeking.

That's kind of the issue. Nobody's complaining that they can't find news on all of the other tragic deaths that happened at the same time, they're complaining that these 5 people (at least four of whom were likely horrible) who voluntarily took an extreme risk and ended up dying for it are being given more public attention than hundreds of others dying in far more tragic circumstances. Of particular note is how much money was spent trying to confirm the fate of these five people (and how much more would have been spent recovering the sub had it been found intact), given that that same money could have saved considerably more than 0 lives if allocated toward any of those other tragedies.
