The sister of billionaire businessman Shahzada Dawood and his teenage son, who were aboard the Titan submersible when it disappeared on a dive to the Titanic wreck, has spoken out, expressing her family’s focus is solely on their safe return.
Sabrina Dawood thanked news agencies for their coverage of the incident, which she believes is playing a significant role in providing the world with relevant updates on the matter. She also asked for privacy for her family during this difficult time but appreciated the support they have received from the global community.
The Titan began its journey to the wreck site early on Sunday morning, and approximately an hour and 45 minutes later, lost contact with its surface ship, the Polar Prince. The submersible is equipped with four-day emergency oxygen supply. Despite this, officials are hopeful of a successful rescue mission and say that a Canadian aircraft involved in the search detected intermittent banging noises from the vicinity of its last known location.
As the search continues, Sabrina Dawood and her family remain hopeful that her brother and nephew will be found safe and sound. Shahzada Dawood and his son, who are both British citizens, are part of a prominent Pakistani family, with investments in the country’s agriculture and industry sectors.
The Dawood family’s sole priority is the safe return of their beloved family members. They are appreciative of all efforts made to aid the search and rescue mission, and hope that people around the world will keep Shahzada Dawood, Suleman Dawood, and their fellow passengers in their thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
