    They were an ocean apart from each other and the deep-sea submersibles and hydrophones used in the Ocean Gate rescue would have been pretty much useless in the case of the refugee boat. So being upset about the resources spent on Ocean Gate is a bit unfair, it’s not like they were facing an either/or choice.

      I’m not saying it was a misapplication of the resources for one versus the other. I’m saying that an inequal amount of resources is applied depending on “cool factor” or wealth of the victims.
