This is a terrible situation any way you slice it. I definitely do not envy anyone involved from the families, to the investigators, to the politicians.

That said, the absolute highest cost estimates for the submersible rescue fiasco are still less that a quarter of the lowest estimates for the recovery of the bodies known-dead people.

I think the money would be better spent on addressing the mmiw epidemic, or on the drug abuse crisis, or even providing clean drinking water to first Nations
