Christine Dawood was on Polar Prince, Titan submersible's support vessel, with her daughter when she got the news that contact had been lost.
Christine Dawood, the wife of Pakistani Billionaire Shahzada Dawood, who died on the Titanic submersible along with his son, recalled the final moments before the family said goodbyes. Mrs Dawood told the BBC that her husband and son were "so excited" to go down to the ocean floor to see the wreckage of the Titanic. Her comments come days after the US Coast Guard said that the submersible suffered a "catastrophic implosion", leading to the death of all five people on board. Christine Dawood wanted to talk to the BBC and pay tribute to the son and husband she lost. #TitanLonger interview running on @BBCWorld on-air and online🎥 @robtaylortv@EloiseAlannapic.twitter.com/q1LW946xpn
"I think I lost hope when we passed the 96 hours mark. That's when I sent a message to my family on shore and I said 'I'm preparing for the worst'. But my daughter did not lose until the Coast Guard called and said they have found the debris," Mrs Dawood said, recalling the tragedy.
