News stories like the horrific fire aboard the Grande Costa D'Avorio docked at Port Newark that killed two of Newark's bravest have a predictable narrative arc. The media focuses intensely as the very real human drama unfolds, and then we look away, as our gaze shifts to the next sensational story.

How they arrive, who does it, what risks they take, or what corners are cut to make it all happen is usually of no consequence or concern to us.
