Use of the Word "Horrifying" in the Chinese Sub Article is Typical Press Hyperbole.
The critical phrase in the Chinese Submarine article is: "When they boarded
on April 26, they found all seventy personnel slumped dead at their stations."
That observation strongly supports the assessment that the crew was overcome
by diesel engine exhaust components - primarily carbon-dioxide - without
knowledge of what was occurring. As previously noted, carbon-dioxide poisoning
does not induce a panic breathing response.
Use of the word "Horrifying" in the title of the article is typical press hyperbole
which is defined as "exaggerated statements....overstatement · magnification ·
amplification · embroidery · embellishment."
Another term is "Yellow Journalism" which uses eye-catching headlines to sell more
newspapers.
