I would agree that you may not blame the media for this specific drama. Very likely the family members of the victims will get names anyway through their legal proceedings.
It is interesting though that specially such law firms and lawyers who sometimes even 'parachute'
right into family meetings, while they are still getting counseled by care teams, try to focus the attention to the monetary aspects of such a disaster. They almost always promise Millions of $$
and use terms like "justice for wrongdoing" etc. Then, after first carefull analysis by the official investiagtion boards the very same laywers are nowhere to be seen until finally they come up with the offer of the insurance company. This may been then considerably lower then originally promised.
And this in turn can lead to such freakin actions very easily. Have in mind that according to common practize in Europe and legal interpretation you can only claim compensation for your actual economical damage. If parents lose their children through an accident they will not be able to proof any sort of economical damage. Same if adult children loose their (retired) parents.
US is completely different, specially because of pain and suffering compensation and punitive damages. But Europe does not acknowledge this. Further local living standarts of the victim have to be taking into consideration for any compensation. So, what is the "value" of a child in Bashkiria (?!)...??? What would be the financial compensation for a beloved wife over there? -
- As cynical as this may sound, this is one of the main issues in such a case and it may as well have played a role as only victims families have to go through this and it may further fog their brain and emotions.
