It’s a really poor headline from ABC Australia, but I didn’t want to break the rules by adding more information to the headline.
From the article:
*About 250 people, including children, are missing in the Andaman Sea.*
*According to the United Nations, the boat had left southern Bangladesh en route to Malaysia with Rohingya refugees and Bangladeshi nationals on board.*

They would be illegal immigrants there and would most likely be deported back. Illegal immigration into the Indian border states is already a huge problem in the country, they will definitely not be getting asylum like they might get in Malaysia.

They have updated it now to **More than 250 missing after boat with Rohingya refugees and Bangladeshi nationals sinks in Andaman Sea**
But the crappy headline I have posted *Overcrowded boat sinks in rough seas with 250 people on board* was the full, original ABC headline, which left basic information such as who were the people on the boat - and where the disaster occurred - out of the headline altogether.

This is a tragedy. If you intend to make disheartening comments about those who were aboard, or why they were aboard at all, I’d ask you to refrain.

Yeah, we wouldn’t want to rock the boat or cause a wave of tension in the comments.

I don't think those people would be on board with this sort of mentality.

In all seriousness, the internet is no place to be sensitive.

You really think decent internet folk would _mar a time_ of tragedy with humor?
