        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”

            There’s nothing that indicates he was coerced.
            My point is that people portray a father taking a 4 year old to his death. I’m just pointing out that he wasn’t a child but an adult who chose to go on the trip.

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

            Kids that age get sent to die in wars but they go on a badly informed submarine trip and now it’s a tragedy?

      Wasn’t anywhere close to being a billionaire.
