Very bad deal overall, but I would not think the passengers were oblivious to the dangers and made bad decisions based on what is and public about the manufacturing of this "Sub" Yep, anytime we move out of our normal environment we increase our chances for disaster. Some of us like pushing the limits more than others. Some of us trust others opinions of what is safe or not more than others. Some of us have had enough life and really don't give a damned. They all made their decisions to do what they wanted to do. Yep, feel sorry for the families who will be missing their relatives. But those people made their own decision to take a chance. We all have to decide our lives. They made their decisions and died with them. Nope, not for me, I think I will work on finding a more stupider way, like walking under my 400lb garage door when a spring breaks or fall off a ladder or let a chain saw get away from me cleaning brush or something like that. At least it was quick with out a lot of suffering and pain.
that 19 year old is the least culpable in this situation, realistically...
