'Caught In A Bad Film': Aunt Of Pak Teen Who Died In Titanic Sub Implosion Says He 'Wasn't Up For It'
Azmeh, who lost her nephew in the implosion of the Titanic submersible, said that she is feeling as if she has been caught in a really bad film.
The older sister of Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, Azmeh, who lost her nephew in the implosion of the Titanic submersible, said that she is feeling as if she has been caught in a really bad film. Dawood further stated that she has also found it difficult to breathe thinking about her brother and nephew. "I feel like I’ve been caught in a really bad film, with a countdown, but you didn’t know what you’re counting down to," she said, fighting back tears. "I personally have found it kind of difficult to breathe thinking of them," as quoted by NBC News. Azmeh Dawood feels "absolutely heartbroken" that her brother and her 19-year-old nephew were aboard the Titan's vessel.
Speaking from her home in Amsterdam, Dawood said, "I feel very bad that the whole world has had to go through so much trauma, so much suspense," as quoted by NBC News.
In the most recent development into the Titan submersible implosion, it has been revealed that the US Navy detected the likely implosion on underwater sound monitoring devices shortly after it went missing in the Atlantic Ocean during a trip to the Titanic wreck. While citing an unnamed senior US Navy official, the Wall Street Journal reported that the implosion was recorded by a secret monitoring system, which has been designed to detect submarines, shortly after the Titan went missing on Sunday.
The Wall Street Journal quoted the official as saying, "The US Navy conducted an analysis of acoustic data and detected an anomaly consistent with an implosion or explosion in the general vicinity of where the Titan submersible was operating when communications were lost."
The US Coast Guard on Thursday said that it had found the wreckage of the submersible near the remains of the Titanic, which is 3,800 meters (12,400 feet) under the sea. Addressing the media, US Coast Guard Rear Admiral John Mauger said five major pieces of the Titan submersible were detected amid the debris around the Titanic site. He said the nose cone, located outside the pressure hull, was the first piece found. He said, "The debris field is consistent with a catastrophic implosion of the vessel."
The site of the fatal accident is believed to be 1600 feet (487 m) off the bow of the Titanic wreck, BBC reported. A four-day multinational search-and-rescue operation into the matter ended with officials telling reporters that analysis showed that the debris found on the seafloor was consistent with the implosion of the sub's pressure chamber.
According to OceanGate Expeditions, which operated the submersible, the five people who died on the Titan submersible were "true explorers". The men "shared a distinct spirit of adventure," said OceanGate in a statement.
The men on board the sub included Stockton Rush, the 61-year-old CEO of OceanGate, British-Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, 48, and his son Suleman, 19, and British businessman Hamish Harding, 58. The fifth man on board, Paul-Henry Nargeolet, was a 77-year-old former French navy diver and renowned explorer.
