In summary: They were deliberately ignored by Greece because they weren’t rich enough to care about, requiring private charity to step in and with its limited capacity only rescue a fraction while the rest remained ignored by Greece, and drowned.
I can be grateful for the charity while still disgusted at the lack of action when compared to the outpouring of support for 5 nitwit billionaires in a deathtrap.
There were no billionaires aboard.
I mean, a luxury super yacht literally saved 100 people from the sinking ship.

Totally agree with you on that.
Can’t let facts get in the way of feelings though!
Blizzard that the NYT article didn’t mention this at all, almost instead implying that the coast guard did most of the rescuing.
While it seems the ship saved 100 of the survivors.
But this is Lemmy we must hate the billonaires
