“Who are they going to sue?”
Estate of Richard Stockton Rush? On grounds that he was personally reckless in designing/building/maintaining/operating the vessel?
The man is not some pauper unworthy of a lawsuit. His grandma was Louise Davies namesake of the symphony hall in San Francisco and was quoted in the S.F.

But every single one of those tourists signed some waiver knowing they could die.
