That voyage killed a kid too, can't really call it a good act overall

    Suleman Dawood was the youngest passenger on board. He was 19 and therefore an adult capable of making his own decisions.

    That sounds an awful lot like "the boy refused to cross his powerful father, therefore he deserved to die"

    Legally, yes, he was an adult. But compared to me he was a kid. I had not yet lived much at 19.
