I like you Stewie and I get what you're trying to say, but you just come off like a jaded cynic with a comment like that. Death is very much part of life so are the tragedies that follow, but because they are so normalized globally does not mean we should be apathetic towards them. What makes events like this garner the attention they do is the media coverage they receive. It is one thing to know people all across the world are dying, it is another to have a direct source allowing us to see the result of careless abandonment by others. For better or worse, different areas of the world have varied expectations for how life is to operate and when an act so heinous goes against our idea of what life should be, it is going to shock and jar those and they should not be chided for showing the emotion that follow.
