Mother Sacrifices Her Seat on Doomed Titanic Trip for Son's Dream
TL;DR Summary
Christine Dawood, whose husband and son died aboard the Titan submersible during a trip to observe the wreck of the Titanic, revealed that her son, Suleman, was a Rubik's Cube enthusiast who planned to solve the puzzle 3,700 meters below sea level. Originally planning to go on the trip herself, Dawood gave her son the opportunity because he really wanted to go. The submersible went missing during its descent, and debris was later found, indicating a catastrophic implosion and the loss of all five people on board. Dawood expressed doubt about finding closure but vowed to continue her husband's work and learn to solve the Rubik's Cube in honor of her son.
