    and having a sorrowful or disastrous conclusion that elicits pity or terror

    It’s not sorrowful., Could be disastrous so I’ll give it that. It neither elicits pity nor terror though.

    You could only make a disaster/comedy about it.

        being eaten by lions would be terrifying too but you dont see me being terrified cuz im not about to go jump in the enclosure. Just like im not an idiot billionaire climbing into an amateur submarine.

          Yes but watching someone get mauled to death by a tiger would elicit a feeling of terror and could lead to things like nightmares about it happening to you.
