- Family’s Gratitude for Global Support in Submersible Rescue Mission
- The Prominence of the Dawood Family and Their Business Ventures
- Challenges and Concerns in the Search for the Missing Titan Submersible
Sabrina Dawood stated that her brother Shahzada Dawood and nephew Suleman Dawood would be “moved” by the continued support of the “global community” as the submersible rescue mission proceeds.
The sister and aunt of two Titan submersible passengers say their “sole focus” is saving them.
Sabrina Dawood, the sister of businessman Shahzada Dawood, 48, who is a passenger along with his son Suleman, 19, acknowledged the worldwide interest in locating her relatives.
She stated, “We are profoundly grateful for the efforts of news agencies during this difficult time; your constant coverage of the missing Titan submersible is unquestionably playing a significant role in the world’s ability to obtain pertinent updates on the matter.”
At this time, the sole concern of the Dawood family is the rescue of our beloved Shahzada and Suleman Dawood. And we are unable to respond to any queries or comments.
“We have faith that the family will be afforded privacy as we address this catastrophe”.
May Shahzada and Suleman safely return to us.
We’re sure they’d be moved by the global community’s support during this difficult moment.
The Dawoods, a notable Pakistani family, invest in agriculture, industry, and healthcare nationwide.
Suleman Dawood and Shahzada are both British citizens.
Shahzada Dawood is also a trustee at the SETI Institute, a Silicon Valley-based space exploration nonprofit.
The Dawoods are two of the five occupants aboard the small submersible operated by OceanGate, a United States-based company that provides crewed submersibles for industry, research, and exploration.
Other attendees include 58-year-old British billionaire Hamish Harding, OceanGate Inc CEO and founder Stockton Rush, and former 25-year French Navy commander Paul-Henri Nargeolet.
This expedition costs $250,000 (£195,000) per person for an eight-day journey that includes wreck dives.
The yacht lost contact 1 hour and 45 minutes after sinking in the Atlantic on Sunday.
The remote location and profundity make the rescue mission especially difficult.
The Titan may be buried or surfaced and unable to communicate. U.S. and Canadian ships and aircraft are participating.
Dr. David Gallo, an oceanographer, and expert, characterizes the Titan’s pilot, Mr. Nargeolet, as his “best friend.” According to the timeline, something occurred “mid-water,” he said.
Dr. Gallo told that the worst-case scenario is “probably a collapse – a catastrophic implosion of the sub itself, which would be horrifying.”
