This gets attention because it’s a unique and horrific way to die. Car accidents are boring and routine. Being instantly compacted into ice cube sizes by Poseidon evokes all kinds of narratives about mankind’s hubris and whatnot and is tied up with the entire history of Titanic itself. It’s a lightning rod for popular interest that some senators will try to latch onto to wedge themselves in the minds of the voting public.
