Yup. Also why do people want more media attention on this. It's not going to stop the human traffickers from overloading their boats. It's not that no one did anything. The coast guards and navies of multiple countries acted as soon as they became aware the boat sank and as a result saved a ton of people. Would people really be happier if we had end to end coverage of a disaster that had no mystery to it just an all too common occurrence of lives being lost fleeing Africa and the Middle East dangerously.
