Mark Zuckerberg is ready to fight Elon Musk in a cage match

I know their names, but it doesn't change the fact that 5 lives were lost and one of them was a kid who was trapped and killed along with 4 idiots. The others were idiots, because they KNEW the circumstances, and STILL chose to go along with it. At the very least, they could have used their own funds to research this and after finding out the facts, decided NOT to go.. these really aren't MENSA members we're talking about here.

The kid is innocent as far as I am concerned, but the idiot moniker is aptly applied considering the circumstances surrounding their demise.

It really is like the quote a friend of mine was fond of. "The only cure for stupidity is death." And that sure as hell proved to be true in this case, but it is a shame that the kid died too. That was an innocent life cut short, who never really got to explore the world, or himself surrounded by those who already have. That should have been the reason NOT to go, considering what the CEO was already told about the vessel. If he were a true friend, or had some semblance of a conscience he would have stopped Dawood, from allowing his son Sulemani to join them.

I really feel for the kid's mom though, she traded her seat for him, so I really hope she and her surviving kid are able to get the help and support they need at this time.
