Azmeh Dawood, sister of businessman Shahzada Dawood, one of the victims of the Titan submarine implosion, revealed that her cousin did not want to make the trip on the Titan and that he was “terrified” at the idea.
Suleman, the millionaire’s son, eventually accompanied his father, but he was not comfortable with the idea of going on an expedition. He agreed to do it because it was the weekend Father’s Day was celebrated in England and because this was an important moment for his father.
“I think of Suleman, 19, in there… Maybe holding his breath… To be honest, it was very hard,” Azmeh lamented. “I feel incredulous. It’s an unreal situation,” the Pakistani millionaire’s sister admitted in an interview with the American television channel NBC.
Azmeh added that his brother has always been obsessed with the history of the Titanic and visiting the wreck has been a long-held dream.
The young man was only 19 years old and attended Strathclyde College in Glasgow, Scotland. The institution regretted passing on a statement this Friday morning:
“We are shocked and deeply saddened by the passing of Suleman Dawood and his father in this tragic accident. Our Student Welfare team remains ready to adequately support Suleman’s colleagues and the wider Strathclyde community during this difficult time,” the college’s statement said. .
Azmeh Dawood said she was still “absolutely shocked” by the situation. “I am very sorry that the whole world has been through so much trauma, so much tension,” he said in a telephone interview, as he lives in Amsterdam.
