Mother cancels deep diving due to the epidemic, and "Titan" dies at the age of 19. Passenger: Originally planning to break the world record by solving the Rubik's Cube in the deep sea, Suleiman | Son | Rubik's Cube
Christina, the mother of 19-year-old passenger Suleiman Daud, who unfortunately died in the Titan deep-sea submersible accident, revealed on the 25th that her son had intended to break the world record for the Deep Sea Rubik's Cube.
Christina told BBC reporters that Suleiman boarded the Titan with a Rubik's Cube and had applied for the Guinness World Record for "unlocking the Rubik's Cube at the wreckage of the Titanic at 3700 meters underwater." His father, Shahzada, was preparing to use a camera to capture the moment when his son broke the record.
Christina originally planned to investigate the wreckage of the Titanic with Shahzada, but because of the cancellation of the COVID-19 epidemic, she later decided to let her son take her place. The father and son have been looking forward to this trip for a long time.
Christina and Shahzada also have a 17-year-old daughter, Alina. The family of four boarded the Titan's diving support ship, the Polar Prince, to the designated deep diving area.
Before the start of the diving on the 18th, they hugged and joked with each other; When the news of the Titan's loss of contact spread, Christina "couldn't understand what that meant" until 96 hours later, when the Titan was expected to run out of oxygen, she felt hopeless and sent a message to her relatives saying "prepare for the worst-case scenario.".
Christina said that Suleiman had unlocked the Rubik's Cube within 12 seconds, and she and Alina were ready to try to complete Suleiman's unfinished challenge. She is also preparing to continue her husband's career, and Shahzada participated in many things and helped many people before his death.
Shahzada engages in business and holds dual citizenship in Pakistan and the United Kingdom. The other three passengers who died were Stockton Rush, CEO of the American Ocean Gate exploration company that operated the Titan, British explorer Hamish Harding, and French explorer Paul Henry Narrolay. The Titan deep-sea submersible costs $250000 per ticket.
According to previous reports by American media, Rush's wife Wendy is a descendant of the deceased passengers of the Titanic cruise ship, Isido Strauss and Ada Strauss. The Strauss couple is believed to be the prototype of an elderly couple who died peacefully when seawater flooded into their room in the movie Titanic.
