The one I feel truly sorry for is the 19-year-old. Still practically a child and can't fully comprehend risk so of course he trusts following his father into a death trap

I feel the same way. I don't think the 19 year old wanted to be there. There's been a few articles saying he was "terrified" to get in the sub but felt a lot of pressure to do it because he wanted to please his dad and it was father's day weekend.

According to his aunt, he didn't even want to go but felt pressure (hmm) from his father.
