Why no massive coverage of this:

2023 Statistics: An estimated 600 people summited the world's highest peak, including 350 Sherpas supporting 250 clients. Records were set as well, including Kami Rita Sherpa summiting Everest for the twenty-eighth time. However, 13 climbers and Sherpas have been confirmed dead, with another 4 missing and presumed dead.

I guess everyone is desensitized to Everest outcomes...

Climb to 29,000 feet nobody cares
Dive to 12,500 feet (and be a billionaire) all eyes on you...
 
This will take weeks to recover the remains of the sub in its current condition. Nose cone is intact and lying face down. The stern cone with OceanGate logo lies 500 ft away. Wreckage is 1,600 feet (530 yards) off Titanic's bow.

There is already a firestorm brewing on making it illegal to dive the wreck and regulations dealing with subs. This is going to be a crap show now.

That is significantly higher than the average which over the previous 30 years has been 6.3. Even as a percentage rate it is significantly higher.
