HN isn't intended for discussing things proportional to their moral value. It's for discussing things that are intellectually interesting. This story is interesting to many HN readers because of the technology involved (carbon fiber subs) and the entrepreneurial risk taking / hubris.
There might be a good discussion to be had here about refugee ships, but you'd need to find an angle of intellectual interest.
