AGI – Five hundred meters further they would have been able to spot the bow of the Titanic, a real obsession for many Titanic crew members. But right there, in a tragic twist of fate, a tragic loss of pressure ended her dreams. Who are the victims of the last voyage of the small submarine that imploded at a depth of 4,000 meters?
The father and the son
The family of Shahzada and Suleman Dawood, father and son of the five people who died on the Titan tourist submarine, expressed “deep pain” at their loss. “We offer our deepest condolences to the families of the other passengers on the Titan submarine,” said a statement from Hussain and Kulsum Dawood, Shahzada’s parents.
19-year-old Suleman Dawood, who died with his father and the other three members of the Titanic expedition, he was “afraid” of the trip. An aunt of the boy revealed this in an interview published by Nbc News before the wreckage of the submarine was found.
Apparently the young man had expressed his concerns about the mission to family and was “not in a good mood” but only agreed because it was important to his father, billionaire Shahzada Dawood, “obsessed with Titanic”.
The billionaire explorer
Hamish Harding, the British billionaire who died with the other four members of the Titanic expedition: “He went and did what he lovedThat’s how he was remembered by his family, who described him as “a living legend” who loved exploring the world and pushing the boundaries of what is possible. As a father of two, “he was one of a kind and we adored him.”
“He was an avid explorer of any field, living his life for his family, his business and the next adventure,” the family statement said. “What he has achieved in his life has been truly remarkable, and if we can take any comfort from that.” It is a tragedy that we lost him in what he loved.
Mr. Titanic
Paul-Henri Nargeolet was a 77-year-old former French naval commander. Most called him “Mr. Titanic” for regularly participating in submarine expeditions to the wreck for 35 years.
He was a member of the team that excavated a number of items from the wreck in 1987. He always described the wreck as a “time capsule” where life suddenly stopped and where every detail reveals intertwined stories and narratives.
The CEO and miracle pilot
Stockton Rush was the CEO and founder of OceanGate, the company behind the Titanic mission. Before becoming an entrepreneur, he was a transport aircraft pilot when he received DC-8 Captain certification from the United Airlines Jet Training Institute in 1981 at the age of just 19.
He earned a bachelor’s degree in space engineering from Princeton University and over the years has been involved in the production of small high frequency sonar systems, software and wireless remote control devices.
