    Yeah. One of the rich guys brought his son. Reported as “university aged” but still.

    Over 18, but still young enough to not be predestined to become like the other billionaires I guess.

        He didn’t want to go but went. His mom refused to go and tried to convince the dad to cancel the trip.

    One was a kid, one was a person who spent a chunk of her life saving for a ticket.

    Most of them were just regular people.

      There were no women on the submersible.

        That may have been a passenger on a different dive then.

    Over 18, but he was the only one that doesn’t want to be there. He was scared but didn’t want to disappoint his father. That poor kid and his mother. Can’t imagine how she must feel. This is why being a good parent takes more than resources. I would never want a relationship with my kids where they felt pressured into doing something just to make me happy. I’d hope I’d make different decisions as a father if I was in that situation. My son openly tells me about his hesitant feelings towards an objectively dangerous trip, I’m not making him go at the very least. And I’m probably not going myself because me and my son can do something else together.

      Quote from his mother on giving up her seat to her son - BBC News:

      “Then I stepped back and gave them space to set [Suleman] up, because he really wanted to go,” she said.
