That’s the nature of many tragedies I’m afraid. Monty Python and The Holy Grail comes to mind where I recall it opening to the bubonic plague of people being thrown onto a cart with someone screaming “Bring out yer dead!” and the joke is someone tries to ‘bring out’ someone that’s still alive, insisting they’ll be dead soon.
I don’t think anyone really ascribes malice to the jokes, it’s just a way to cope through dark history.

The bubonic plague was a little further back in history.
If you want something more recent, I think something happened in 2001 but I can’t quite remember.
Some sort of fraction, i think the denominator was 11
It was a global tragedy. I know a guy who had to walk through blood and bones looking for his brother.
