    I think all of them forfeited any respect for their lives when they chose to step into a metal tube and put several miles of water between them and the breathable atmosphere, for fun.

    Sure, I think it’s maybe fair to say that about ceo, who cut all sorts of corners with the construction (and it was a carbon fiber tube, not metal, which was the main problem)

    However, the 19 year old kid on board was dragged along by his dad, and was reportedly terrified and didn’t want to go. I think it shows an extreme lack of empathy to say his life had no value because of the situation he was put in.

      That’s true. None of what I said applies to the 19 year old who seems to have been either cajoled or coerced onto that submarine.
