The tragedy of the Titan’s submersible implosion dealt a severe blow to the Dawoods. The family, originally from Pakistan, lost Shahzada Dawood and their 19-year-old son Suleman.

They were very close and they all knew the fascination that the Titanic caused in Shahzada, a businessman who settled in the United Kingdom and “who sponsored the SETI Institute, whose mission is to explore and understand the origins of the universe “, emphasized the EFE bureau.

Christine Dawood bears in her heart the weight of the two absences, that of the man who returned her love and that of the boy, born of that union with Alina.

“I relinquished my place on the Titan to my son”

It was learned last week that young Suleman, who was reportedly a student at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, felt a perceived fear of traveling in the submarine.

Now another shocking detail is known and his mother has told. The first version, of what was told by the parent, would be excluded.

Christine emphasized, according to CNN en Español, that as a family they had been planning a trip on the submarine Titan for a long time.

In fact, they had to wait because the reconnaissance was postponed due to the covid-19 pandemic, the woman said in her statement to the BBC.

“She originally planned to make the trip with her husband because Suleman was too young at the time. Then I stepped back and gave my seat to Suleman because I really wanted to go,” said Dawood.

“My son became obsessed with the Titanic after completing a Lego model as a teenager,” reported El País.

I was very happy for them, because they both wanted that for a long time.

“My son wanted a plate with the Rubik’s cube”

As a child, Suleman was fascinated by the magic of the Rubik’s cube.

“I figured it out in seconds. He learned by watching videos on YouTube. Suleman didn’t go anywhere without his Rubik’s cube,” Dawood told the BBC and CNN published in Spanish.

The young man wanted a world record and thought he could achieve it “by solving Rubik’s cube at a depth of 3,700 meters, near the Titanic,” his mother added.

“I was so excited about this,” the mother said.
