  I guess I only heard about it from my partner, but yeah looks like it gained significant public interest for the last week and a bit. Has all the ingredients to do so, the unknown of will they be found combined with the age and rarity of the event itself.

      I’d say it’s less about the ethnicity and more in relation to how young and rare this event is as Dimand said. It’s likely gained popularity because people were hoping to find them alive.

      Hot take but I would say Hadi Nazari got way more attention back at the start of 2025 when he was lost in Kosciuszko national park, even before he was found alive.
