According to Dawood’s aunt, Suleman Dawood, the Titan of OceanGate Expeditions’ youngest passenger, reportedly expressed concerns about the journey in the days before the expedition to the ocean floor.
But since Father’s Day weekend fell during the trip, he made the decision to go with his father, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood.
Shahzada’s elder sister Azmeh Dawood said in an interview with NBC News that her nephew “wasn’t very up for it” and that the Titanic expedition “terrified” him.
The 19-year-old made the decision to take the vacation in order to appease his father, who had been “absolutely obsessed” with the Titanic since he was a young child.
Azhmeh remembered the siblings watching countless documentaries about the catastrophe and visiting ship-related museums, so she was not surprised to learn that her younger brother had bought tickets for OceanGate’s current mission.
Suleman, a 19-year-old, comes to mind as possibly struggling for air inside. Sincerely, it’s been crippling,” she said.
Azmeh expressed “disbelief” after learning that the Titan had unquestionably experienced a “catastrophic implosion” from the United States Coast Guard. ”.
“This is an unbelievable situation. ”.
Azmeh’s TV was all she watched in the days before they found the debris field.
She said, “I feel like I was caught up in a horror movie with a countdown, but you didn’t know what you’re counting down to. When I consider them, I occasionally have trouble breathing. ”.
“Keep the departed souls and our family in your prayers,” the Dawood family has asked. They also express gratitude to the search teams for their “constant efforts. ”.
For the Dawood family and the loved ones of everyone who died in the tragic underwater explosion, prayers are being sent.
Tell your friends and family about this terrible news, please!
