So if you're male and under 65, your life doesn't count. This line is so unnecessary, it just creates a weird valuation of lives.
It does give a kind of indication of how the accident caused the majority of the fatalities.
If it were from tons of falling debris hitting people, the fatalities would be distributed more randomly as dumb luck determines whether your survive.
If it's drowning from falling in a river. The frail and incapable would make up the majority.
"987,550 people died in the bombing, including one woman and 4 babies." is how they always frame these things. Young men never matter to them.
The stereotype of young men is "fit and competent". That probably needs to change now.
"987,550 people died in the bombing, including one woman, 4 babies, and 162,349 soygoys."
Why would they bother to count what they don't care about?
