The Youngest Submersible Passenger Did Not Want to Embark on the Risky Journey
One of the five passengers on the "Titan" submersible, which was en route to the wreck of the "Titanic" in the Atlantic Ocean and exploded on its journey, was Suleiman, a student of Pakistani origin, who actually did not want to go on the risky trip. This is reported by the Daily Mail.
It is noted that the young man was "terrified" of it and only joined the crew to please his father. This was revealed by the victim's aunt. Azmeh Dawood recounted that her nephew had informed a family member before the departure that he was "not really ready for it, but felt obligated to please his father," who was very eager to dive to the site of the shipwreck.
The publication elaborates that Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son were two of the five victims. Other victims included Stockton Rush, the CEO of OceanGate, veteran French Navy officer Paul-Henri Nargeolet, and British billionaire Hamish Harding. They went missing after the "Titan" lost contact with the operator ship following its submersion.
It is worth noting that earlier reports stated that the passengers of the sunken submersible died without feeling pain.
