About 1 cargo ship a week from what I recall. Throw in fishing boats, tourist boats, refugee boats I bet there is probably more like one every day. Then throw in the people who are killed or injured in accidents on boats and ships. I bet it’s a pretty big number (yet people are more scared of flying).
Billionaires are on almost none of them though.

It's the novelty of it for the most part and all the elements to make an easy story, billionaire adventure looking for the titanic and the oxygen countdown making it perfect for 24hr news.
The same ships going down everyday just doesn't sell, everyone just tunes it out.

Man bites dog, innit.
Hundreds of shitty boats sink each year full of people.
Couple of rich peeps on a freaky super deep submarine thingie... fuck yes!

Am I the only one who finds this all a bit ‘missing white woman syndrome’? How many other craft go missing over a year that we never hear about* but now it’s a bunch of billionaires on an adventure mission it’s got everyone hooked?
Genuine question, maybe I’m over expecting the sea to be a common place for ships to go missing.
