Well this is a pretty heartless way to refer to a disaster involving 188 people. (Title currently: "Lion Air's brand new Boeing 737 MAX8 crashes into sea")

I don't know that there's a good way to be both concise and informative about disasters like this without being somewhat heartless, especially when the event is so recent. Having a less-editorialized title would definitely help, though - there's something particularly callous about implicit speculation so soon.
