A woman who lost her husband and teenage son in the “Titan” submersible disaster said that the remains of her loved ones were handed over to her in small “shoe boxes.”
Kristin Dawood, who lost her husband Shahzada Dawood and her 19-year-old son Suleman when the underwater vessel imploded in 2023 while heading toward the wreck of the Titanic, said she was shocked when informed that the remains would be returned to her.
“For nine months, we could not receive the bodies, and in the end they sent them to us in small sports shoe boxes,” she said.
Kristin Dawood, who herself was supposed to be on board the submersible but gave up her place to her son Suleman at the last moment, stated that these were the remains recovered by experts from the seabed and identified through DNA testing.
It should be recalled that the “Titan” began its descent on the morning of June 18, 2023, but lost contact with its support vessel approximately two hours later while traveling toward the wreckage of the Titanic.
As a result of the catastrophic implosion, all passengers on board the “Titan” died at the scene.
