If you were terrified by imagining being down there before… The five victims of the Titanic submersible disaster spent their final moments in pitch black, freezing cold darkness.
The Titan’s tragic implosion has been the talk of the world lately, with new information coming out every day on what went wrong and how the five passengers — OceanGate CEO Stockon Rush, Brit billionaire Hamish Harding, French explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet, and father-son duo Shahzada and Suleman Dawood — met their fate. In a new interview with the New York Times, though, we’re getting a better idea from Shahzada’s widow Christine Dawood about how the passengers likely spent their last moments alive.
Christine said she and her 17-year-old daughter Alina were on the ship known as the Polar Prince that carried the submersible out to the location it was meant to sink down to the wreckage from. The mother recalled how on Father’s Day they arrived at the mothership of the operation in Newfoundland, and they were given a debrief on the plans for the expedition. During the debrief, she seemed impressed with how knowledgable everyone was — no crew member gave any inkling that something may go wrong:
She revealed how the crew advised all passengers to wear thick hats and socks due to the quickly-dropping temperature of the ocean and condensation that would likely pool at the floor, as well as eat a “low-residue” diet with no caffeine before the launch. There’s no bathroom in the submersible, so it’s important to use the bottle and camp toilet they brought on board as infrequently as possible.

Expedition Unknown on Discovery Plus, tweeted on Wednesday (June 21) that he turned down the opportunity to film Titanic because the submersible “did not perform well” during a test dive.Gates said that he was given the chance to join OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush on a test dive, which took place in July 2021.“To those asking, #Titan did not perform well on my dive.

Titanic” director James Cameron spoke out during an ABC News interview about the tourist submersible Titan that lost contact on its way to reach the Titanic. After submarine company OceanGate released a statement on Thursday saying that the five people who went down are believed dead, Cameron gave his thoughts on the tragedy as a longtime member of the diving community, who has made 33 trips to the Titanic himself. “People in the community were very concerned about this sub,” Cameron said. “A number of the top players in the deep submergence engineering community even wrote letters to the company, saying that what they were doing was too experimental to carry passengers and that it needed to be certified. I’m struck by the similarity of the Titanic disaster itself, where the captain was repeatedly warned about ice ahead of his ship, and yet he steamed at full speed into an ice field on a moonless night and many people died as a result. For us, it’s a very similar tragedy where warnings went unheeded. To take place at the same exact site with all the diving that’s going on all around the world, I think it’s just astonishing. It’s really quite surreal.”
