I have sympathy for the son as he (allegedly) did not want to go on the trip but felt that because it was important to his father, he had to go.

That is the only one I have sympathy for

But due to my nature, I feel guilty not caring about the other 4 people

Edit: I feel less guilty reading this shit from wikipedia, but still guilty

I really appreciate your comment. I feel the same way. I feel I can accept both that they were victims of their own hubris, and were other people suffering. Those notions do exist together no matter how I feel about the ultra rich.
