It's a question of terrible irony.Mainly, I meant to highlight the fact that entire FAMILIES perished. While the death of anyone is a tragedy, losing an entire family in one go adds a bit more to the collective horror.
As for class: I'd agree that it's tragic when anyone, regardless of class, perishes in an accident. However, it does add a certain amount of terrible irony when you consider that for many of these families, this was one of the ONLY chances they would ever have to enjoy an outing like this. Pretty awful stuff--you get one shot to take your family on a nice cruise, and it ends in utter catastrophe.
If I gave the impression that I'd consider the loss of life lesser if it were someone of a different class, I misspoke.
