Titan submersible wreckage brought ashore after fatal implosion
A woman who lost both her husband and son in the Titan submersible implosion has revealed how they spent their final moments on board.
Christine Dawood, wife to British Pakistani, Shahzada Dawood, and mother to Suleman Dawood, said the passengers listened to their favourite music as they descended in the ocean in pitch-black darkness.
Ms Dawood told the New York Times the crew were told to wear thick socks and a hat due to plunging cold temperatures.
They were also told to make a playlist of their favourite songs to play via Bluetooth during the descent.
The new details about the crew’s last moments come amid recent reports that most of the OceanGate dives to the wreck of the Titanic were reportedly unsuccessful.
According to an in-depth report by NYT published on Sunday, most of the 12,000-ft dives by the Titan did not end with up-close views of the world’s most famous shipwreck.
The Times reported that more missions were aborted than accomplished.
In the aftermath of the sub’s implosion, which killed all five passengers including OceanGate’s CEO Stockton Rush, several people have shared issues they experienced during their Titan dives.
