The tragedy of the Bayesian superyacht has drawn significant media attention, starkly contrasting with the grim reality for asylum seekers facing shipwrecks in the Mediterranean. NGOs highlighted that while they strive to save lives, incidents involving wealthy individuals receive far greater consideration. Sea-Eye noted that the media's response reflects a disparity in the value placed on human lives, pointing out that every death in these waters is equally tragic, regardless of one’s socioeconomic status.
NGOs reported a noticeable lack of extensive media coverage surrounding the plight of asylum seekers compared to the tragedy of the Bayesian superyacht. Sea-Watch observed how the distress calls from a dinghy carrying 43 people went largely ignored, whereas the Australian tech magnate’s misfortune attracted immediate action and support from authorities, underscoring a disturbing bias in societal perceptions regarding whose lives are deemed more valuable.
