To be fair, the details of the story were NOT well-described until some of the recent rescues in the last 48 hours started to focus on just what all these people were up against.
“Boys Trapped In A Cave”
is a headline that can race past the focus of most people.
“Some Boys Rescued By Hero Divers”
is a headline a little more interesting.
“Rescue By International Divers Underway For Boys Trapped Miles Deep In Dark Flooded Cave For Two Weeks”
is a headline that grabs more attention. Once some of the details emerge, the story goes viral.
Here’s the crux for me: I would click on those titles to see if it was someone I know or someone near me. If hot, I move on. So I knew about a cave story from a while ago because I read a headline. I clicked on this one because I thought, “Is that thing still going on?” I should not have posted here. I’m sort of a party pooper. Sorry. :(
