I find the 19yo kid’s death tragic. He was probably coerced into going. Everyone else, I quite agree with you.

    I read somewhere that his dad (the second richest man on the sub, pakistani oligarch family member) pushed him to go because "it's fathers day, we have to".

    It's tragic that the 19 year old died, and I hope that his family can eventually cope with the fact that he got coerced into death by his own dad.

    It has since been reported that Suleman Dawood was actually very excited about going on the sub, and had been previously disappointed when he couldn't go the first time the dive was scheduled because he was only 17, so his mother was going to go instead. That dive was cancelled, he turned 18, and you know the rest.

    Oh my goddamn give it a fucking break already. You can say the same about any other son who spent time with his dad when he probably didn't want to. The fact that they were rich doesn't make it evil for a father to want to spend time with his son. It's not like he knew they were going to die; he didn't intentionally drag his son along to his death.

    Goddamn, I've never been more disgusted with the "good guys." Coerced into death, are you fucking serious? Can we just investigate and analyze this empirically without making up reasons to hate the people involved? They're dead, dude. Let it be.
