Nobody in my family’s magic at all. It was ever such a surprise when I got my letter, but I was ever so pleased, of course, I mean, it’s the very best school of witchcraft there is, I’ve heard – I’ve learnt all our set books off by heart, of course, I just hope it will be enough – I’m Hermione Granger, by the way, who are you?
Happy Birthday, Hermione! (September 19, 1979)

This whole submarine thing is a perfect spotlight on how the super wealthy take on an "I'm bulletproof" mentality, which makes sense considering how money can insulate you from pretty much anything.
Then when some guy offers to take them to see the Titanic for $250 000 and makes them sign a waiver that screams THIS TITANIUM AND CARBON SAUSAGE THAT YOU WILL BE BOLTED INTO FROM THE OUTSIDE IS CONTROLLED WITH A BOOTLEG PS3 GAMEPAD AND HAS NOT BEEN PROVEN SAFE BY ANYONE WHO KNOWS THEIR SHIT. THERE IS A VERY REAL POSSIBILITY YOU COULD DIE A HORRIBLE DEATH they go "not me, I'm rich 😗✌" and climb right on.
I've seen this in recreational diving circles too. The richer the clients, the worse they are at listening to you when you end the dive to prevent people running out of air and/or getting the bends. Sure there are the ones who get really into tek, see/hear about someone dying and go "oh shit maybe these limits exist for a reason" and actually start listening but I have pulled out my hair over rich assholes ignoring safety instructions enough to know oceangate had it coming. When social consequences have never existed for someone, they tend to forget that the sea doesn't give a shit who their dad is.
