Here is a really tragic and chilling story.

A submarine with 5 people on board went missing while viewing the Titanic ship wreck. The Titanic sits at a depth of 12,500 feet, 3,800 metres, around 2.5 miles down.

Most nuclear submarines operate in pitch black at a depth of around 300 metres . The trip is part of a tourist culture of extreme adventures. It cost $250,000 to take the trip.

This is a really sad story. For the families who have lost their loved ones. And also for the individuals. It's a chilling story. Before the wrekage was found you can't help but imagine what their last few days were like. Breathing their last air in the pitch black. Having to soil themselves where they sat whilst huddling together for warmth. The cold increasing, moisture from their breath icing up inside. The CO2 levels rising. Maybe the only good thing is that you may slowly drift off to sleep and never wake up. That's assuming the fear of knowing you're in your last days doesn't grip you.

5 people were on board. We know their names, faces, background, nationalities and in some cases, estimated net worth.

Multiple Governments and organisations have swung into action to find them. The US military used all their expertise to locate them.

I have seen numerous articles talking about the bravery of adventure and how the explorer spirit of olden day exporers lives on with these people.

Here is another story, for some reason it's less tragic and chilling and I've not given any detailed througt to how these people spent their last days.

10 days earlier maybe 500 people (according to UN estimates) ended up in the same place as these 5 on the submarine.

Unlike $250k to a billionaire these people probably borrowed and spent everything they had for their deadly trip.

If you want to glorify and fettishise high risks and high stake trips, nothing can top living in a war zone, bombs falling in your street, then being on board a small boat designed for a few dozen people that's now carrying a hundreds when the engine cuts out. If you want high risk, here you have it.

The EU quickly swang into action. Applying it's white majority and no non-whites allowed free movement rule. The one where black people are regularly shot to death by illegal EU death squads on the boarder.

In this case the EU coastguard then lied and said the boat was fine when evidence points to it being clear the people were going to die.

This is the state watching the death of innocents. Essentially a state execution by omission. The EU claiming it's a law abiding and law upholding institution sitting by and not following the laws of the sea and helping those in peril.

Mention of these people fell away within a day or so. Instead we turn to fuss over a few billionaires, we know every detail about them from over 700 articles in just a few days. Special everning news bulletins dedictated to the missing sub. The King asking for updates

The names of the people on the EUs death boat are.... I don't know. The name of the boat is, I don't know. The circumstances in which they died, I don't know bar that it was watched by the EU, desperate to make sure more people of colour didn't set foot in previous Greece.

I guess we revere and admine adventurous, brave entrepreneurial billionaires, but not invading scrounging illegal migrants. That's just how it is. The poor count for nothing. The rich are to be admired.
