The point is the media is turning this into a fucking show. If 40+ people or my kid dies in a car crash it would all be a matter of a brief one-day coverage. And the number of people's lives affected would be the same.

However, IF the wall fell on to these miners it would all be a tragedy way bigger that if they just died in an explosion the first day.

It's a show.
