In a tragic turn of events, people’s deep fascination with the Titanic ultimately resulted in the implosion of a submarine. This obsession led to a fatal incident that claimed lives and had a devastating impact.
The ill-fated voyage was driven by a desire to explore and capture the essence of the historic shipwreck.
However, instead of fulfilling its ambitions, the expedition ended in catastrophe, leaving a trail of unanswered questions and deep pain.
During the ill-fated voyage to witness the sinking of the Titanic, Suleman Dawood, the 19-year-old son of British Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, had an ambitious goal.
He brought his Rubik’s Cube with him, intending to set a world record in the depths of the ocean. They set out on the tragic journey with his father at his side, who carried a camera to record the momentous occasion.
Their mother shared this detail with the BBC, shedding light on the aspirations that accompanied them before the devastating turn of events unfolded.
The fate of the submersible, which experienced a “catastrophic implosion”, as recently revealed on Thursday, resulted in the tragic loss of all five people on board. They were later declared deceased following the devastating incident.
“He (Suleman) said: ‘I’m going to solve the Rubik’s Cube 3,700 meters under the sea on the Titanic’, Christine Dawood told the BBC in her first interview with the press after tragically losing her son and husband.
In a twist of fate, she and her 17-year-old daughter found themselves aboard the Polar Prince, the support vessel for the ill-fated submersible, when all communication with the five people inside was abruptly lost.
Despite his initial reluctance, Suleman, a student at the University of Strathclyde in Scotland, embarked on the trip as a Father’s Day bonding experience. He had recently completed his first year at Glasgow University, studying at the prestigious Strathclyde Business School.
Hailing from one of Pakistan’s wealthiest families, Suleman’s father, Shahzada Dawood, 48, held a prominent position as vice president of the Karachi-based Engro Corporation.

The Dawood family, including Suleman’s grandfather, Hussain Dawood, 79, president of the Dawood Hercules Corporation, had enjoyed a month-long stay in Canada prior to the dive.
Tragically, on Father’s Day, about an hour and a half after the mid-Atlantic dive, contact with the OceanGate submersible was lost. A massive search operation was launched in a desperate attempt to locate the vessel and its occupants.
