Debris was found from the missing Titan submersible. Among others, the husband and son of a woman from Rosenheim were on board.
The submersible that was supposed to bring five people to the Titanic wreck has been missing since Sunday. It has been clear since Thursday evening: the submarine has imploded. Just a few hours after the descent, noises were registered that pointed to this. The missing persons’ chances of survival: zero. According to the Coast Guard, they’re probably all dead.
But the hope of finding the Titan and rescuing the occupants has dwindled by the hour over the past few days. A native of Rosenheim may have thrown particularly anxious looks in the direction of the wreck of the Titanic. She feared for the life of her husband and her son – and is now in deep mourning.

Shahzada Dawood booked a ticket on Titan for himself and his 19-year-old son Suleman. According to US media reports, the trips to the wreck of the Titanic, which lies at a depth of around 3800 meters, are offered by the company Ocean Gate Expeditions for around 250,000 US dollars. “Our son, Shahzada Dawood, and his son, Suleman, had embarked on a voyage to visit the remains of the Titanic in the Atlantic. At this time, contact with their submersible has been lost and only limited information is available,” the company said in a statement Family Dawood, which was published in Pakistan.
Search for the submarine “Titan”: The Dawood family lives near London
Christine Dawood recently visited Rosenheim for the funeral of her mother Gudrun. She’s always back in her home country. There she did an apprenticeship at the Rosenheim University of Applied Sciences for Technology and Economics and then moved to Great Britain. At age 23, she married Shahzada Dawood in London. The philanthropist works, among other things, as a life coach, but also as an author. She is also active in her husband’s Dawood Foundation in Pakistan. The foundation’s projects revolve around the disadvantaged in Pakistan.
The Dawood family lives in Long Ditton, a suburb of London. As part of her husband and son’s adventure, she traveled to Canada about a month ago. Christine Dawood wanted to follow the Titan expedition from there. Now her emotional world will probably oscillate between hope and despair. The last thing that gave her hope was that search teams heard knocking noises under water. However, time is running out. The five occupants of the submarine are likely to run out of oxygen on Thursday afternoon German time if they are still waiting for rescue.
