Shahzada Dawood and Suleman Dawood are a father-and-son duo who were among the five passengers aboard the submersible vessel that went missing while attempting to reach the Titanic shipwreck on June 18, 2023.
Who are Shahzada Dawood & Suleman Dawood, father & son missing on Titanic Submersible?
Shahzada Dawood is a British-Pakistani multimillionaire who helps run an investment firm and a fertilizer company. He is based in London. Suleman Dawood is his 19-year-old son.
The other three passengers on the submersible were American tourist Chris Tsakmakis, Belgian tourist Annick Van Overbeke, and OceanGate Expeditions pilot Victor Vescovo.
The submersible, called Titan, was owned by OceanGate Expeditions and was set to take passengers for a close look at the Titanic shipwreck. However, communication with the vessel was lost just under two hours into its journey.
Rescue crews have been searching for the submersible since it went missing, but they have not yet been able to locate it. The submersible has enough oxygen to last for about 72 hours, so there is still hope that the passengers are alive.
The disappearance of the Dawood family has been a major news story in Pakistan, where they are considered to be one of the country’s wealthiest families. The Pakistani government has dispatched a team of experts to help with the search for the submersible.
The search for the Dawood family and the other passengers on the Titan is ongoing. It is a difficult and dangerous mission, but the rescue crews are determined to find the missing people.
