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 journey was fueled by a desire to explore and capture the essence of the historic shipwreck.?
During the ill-fated voyage to witness the Titanic shipwreck, Suleman Dawood, the 19-year-old son of British Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, had an ambitious goal.?
He brought along his Rubik's Cube, intending to set a world record in the ocean's depths. They set out on the tragic journey with his father by their side, who was carrying a camera to record the momentous occasion.?
The fate of the submersible, which experienced a?"catastrophic implosion,"?as recently disclosed on Thursday, resulted in the tragic loss of all five individuals aboard. They were subsequently declared deceased following the devastating incident.
"He (Suleman) said, 'I'm going to solve the Rubik's Cube 3,700 meters below the sea at the Titanic',?Christine Dawood told BBC in her first-ever 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 was abruptly lost with the five individuals inside.
Despite his initial reluctance, Suleman, a student at the University of Strathclyde in Scotland, had embarked on the trip as a Father's Day bonding experience. He had recently completed his first year at the university in Glasgow, studying at the esteemed Strathclyde Business School.
The Dawood family, including Suleman's grandfather, Hussain Dawood, 79, chairman of Dawood Hercules Corporation, had been enjoying a month-long stay in Canada before the dive.
Tragically, on Father's Day, approximately an hour and a half into the dive in the mid-Atlantic, contact was lost with the OceanGate submersible. A massive search operation was launched in a desperate attempt to locate the vessel and its occupants.
