A closer look

Sunk by a Soviet submarine in 1945, the MV Wilhelm Gustloff took over 9,000 lives with it, making the Titanic look like a minor boating mishap. Instead of becoming a morbid tourist trap for scuba divers, Polish authorities designated the wreckage an official war grave, making it strictly illegal to dive within a 500-meter radius. It’s a rare victory for common decency, proving that sometimes we actually shouldn't let people in neon wetsuits take selfies at a mass casualty site.
