I haven't got a link to say media coverage is bigger, but my opinion is it was much bigger. Remember Elon Musk saying he wanted to send a submersible and then calling the brave diver apedo. Maybe I'm pulled that way because everything that happened post rescue, visiting old Trafford, Oscar winning documentary then Ron Howard movie the year after ( both great)
I remember the fall out quite clearly with Musk etc, but not so much the actual rescue at the time. Don't get me wrong, I do remember the rescue taking place etc, but I can't recall that same magnitude of coverage. It was a while ago though and perhaps I just wasn't paying attention.
