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.

Wonder what the vibe is going to be like when they get to the "the air has now run out" moment.
It is bonkers. They're flying in three C-17 cargo planes and a 747 to bring "supplies for the search". They've got at least 13 boats milling about looking but as far as I can tell, there is no way they are fishing this thing off the bottom of the ocean.
Maybe they are all charging expenses to the billionaires accounts?

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.
