Sulaiman, the son of a Pakistani tycoon, did not want to see the Titanic
A few days before going on a submarine expedition to see the remains of the Titanic from the coast of Newfoundland, Canada, 19-year-old Suleman Dawood, son of Pakistan's wealthy businessman Shahzada Dawood, was in a dilemma. However, he embarked on the journey in a submarine named Titan a few days before Father's Day to make his father happy. In an interview with NBC News yesterday, Suleman's uncle, Ajmeh Dawood, revealed these details.
The submarine named Titan, carrying five more passengers, set off last Saturday with the intention of exploring the depths of the Atlantic Ocean where the remains of the Titanic lie. Shortly after starting the underwater journey, the submarine lost communication with the control room, two hours into the voyage. Yesterday, the recovery team discovered the wreckage of the submarine after an extensive search of the ocean floor around the site of the Titanic's remains, according to a press conference by the US Coast Guard.
There were a total of five passengers on the Titan submarine, including Pakistan's wealthy individual, Shahzada Dawood, and his son Suleman Dawood.
Shahzada's elder sister, Ajmeh, said that Suleman had informed one of his relatives that he did not want to go and see the remains of the Titanic. He was scared. However, to please his father on Father's Day, he agreed to go on the expedition. Because his father was very enthusiastic about the Titanic.
The submarine was sent for underwater tourism by OceanGate, a US-based private organization. Yesterday, the organization confirmed that all five occupants of the submarine had died in the accident.
