He was 'terrified' of the trip
Suleman Dawood, the 19-year-old passenger aboard the tragic Titanic submarine was "terrified" of the trip, according to his aunt.
She said that over the past few days, she constantly checked the news in the hope of finding out some updates about her brother and nephew, adding: "I feel like I've been caught in a really bad film, with a countdown, but you didn't know what you're counting down to. I personally have found it kind of difficult to breathe thinking of them."
She added that Shahzada was "absolutely obsessed" with the Titanic from a young age and when they were kids in Pakistan, the siblings would constantly watch the 1958 film "A Night to Remember," a drama about the sinking of the cruise liner. "The ROV subsequently found additional debris. In consultation with experts from within the unified command, the debris is consistent with the catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber."On behalf of the United States Coast Guard and the entire unified command, I offer my deepest condolences to the families. I can only imagine what this has been like for them.
"This was a catastrophic implosion of the vessel which would have generated a significant broadband sound down there that the sonar buoys would have picked up," he said.
