A U.S. Coast Guard investigation has been launched into the implosion of the Titan submersible, which tragically killed all five men on board, including 19-year-old Suleman Dawood and his father Shahzada Dawood. The incident has captivated the world for days and sparked a vast search.
In a recent interview with the BBC, Suleman’s mother, Christine Dawood, has revealed that her son had brought a Rubik’s Cube on board the submersible in hopes of breaking a world record. Christine and her 17-year-old daughter Alina were on board the host ship in the North Atlantic as Suleman and his father boarded OceanGate’s submersible to dive nearly 13,000 feet to view the sunken Titanic.
Christine said that Suleman had applied to Guinness World Records ahead of the mission and was “so excited” to try to solve the puzzle deep in the North Atlantic. His father had even brought a camera along to document the record-breaking moment.
However, the submersible lost contact with the surface ship an hour and 45 minutes into the dive, and authorities determined the vessel had imploded. The investigation into the cause of the implosion is ongoing.
Christine Dawood has expressed her grief over the loss of her husband and son, saying that she is “in shock” and that the family is “devastated.” The tragedy has left the family with many unanswered questions.
