Titan

Now that the 19 year old's mom has spoken up to say he registered with Guinness Records in anticipation of being on it for solving the Rubik Cube in his routine 12 seconds but at the Titanic's depth at sea.

He was excited to go, contrary to some reports that I read that he was terrified and was doing it only because of being with daddy.

Like the other 4 on that sub, the 19 year old was actually on an ego trip.

You'd have to ask him how much he knew. At 19 years old I'll wager he didn't simply go entirely on what his dad told him about it. He was on board with a 77 year old who knew everything there was to know about it including the warning letters about it.

He was on board with the man who designed and, albeit superficially, tested the thing, so that was a presumed guarantee. How much anybody knew about the sub going aboard the thing is pretty much immaterial.

The bigger legal question is whether or not being 19 years of age is sufficient to legally sign the liability agreement he signed...or did his dad sign it for him because he was under 21?

To answer that question one must also answer the question of which jurisdiction's laws govern the answer to that question--Washington state, Massechusetts, or Bahamas?
