BOSTON (AP) — Christine Dawood was on board a support vessel when she got word that communications had been lost with the Titan submersible carrying her husband and son to see the Titanic wreckage. Several days later, authorities would announce that Shahzada Dawood and Suleman Dawood were among five that died when the submersible imploded. In an interview with the BBC, Christine Dawood recalls how she didn’t initially “comprehend what that meant” when she learned that the ship had lost communications with the submersible just hours into the voyage. Before the launch, she remembers laughing and joking with her husband and son.
