And a happy ending for all but the seal diver that died. Kind of crazy how news works. Twelve living children trapped in a cave captures the world's attention but thirty three people that died on a sinking ferry off a Thai island (at the same time) gets almost no press coverage. The senseless suicide of a celebrity even took billing over thirty three unwanted deaths. I am of the thought that the soccer team story would have been bumped had there been four cute puppies trapped in a sewer. At the same time the news is clamoring for stories tied to this from retired divers and military personnel. People like Elon Musk jumped on the sensationalism band wagon by offering help (an experimental submarine...really?) in a situation that he had little to no knowledge of.
