<p>The aunt of 19-year-old Titan passenger <strong>Suleman Dawood</strong> says he was “<a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/titanic-submersible-shahwood-suleman-family-tragedy-rcna90678" target="_blank" rel="noopener">terrified</a>” before taking a trip on the doomed submarine expedition. Still, he preserved and boarded regardless to impress his father, she says.</p>
<p><strong>Azmeh</strong>, the older sister of wealthy Pakistani businessman <strong>Shahzada Dawood</strong>, said that Suleman &#8220;wasn&#8217;t very up for it.&#8221; The elder Dawood is said to have had an obsession with the Titanic from a young age, his sister told NBC News.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Aunt: Teen Didn&#8217;t Want To Go On Trip, But Wanted To Impress Dad</h3>
<p>She added that he reportedly told a family member that he was &#8220;terrified&#8221; about joining his dad on the deep sea tour of the RMS Titanic wreckage.</p>
<p>However, Suleman was reportedly eager to appease his father.</p>
<p>The younger Dawood ultimately went on the voyage regardless because the trip fell over Father&#8217;s Day weekend, Azmeh said.</p>
<p>He and his father were two of the five tourists who died after going missing in the small, 22-ft. underwater OceanGate submersible. Their deaths were <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/missing-submarine-tourists-believed-dead-coast-guard-catastrophic-implosion/?_gl=1*b7heeh*_up*MQ..*_ga*MTY3NDkwOTQyMy4xNjg3NTI2Nzky*_ga_V2HX8YP3XL*MTY4NzUyNjc5MS4xLjEuMTY4NzUyNjc5NS4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noopener">confirmed on Thursday</a>, as reported by <em><strong>The Shade Room</strong></em>.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I am thinking of Suleman, who is 19, in there, just perhaps gasping for breath &#8230; It&#8217;s been crippling, to be honest,&#8221; Azmeh told the outlet.</p></blockquote>

<p>Azmeh tearfully explained her &#8220;disbelief&#8221; to Thursday&#8217;s news and the loss of her brother and nephew.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I feel disbelief,&#8221; Azmeh told the outlet. &#8220;It&#8217;s an unreal situation. I feel like I&#8217;ve been caught in a really bad film, with a countdown, but you didn&#8217;t know what you&#8217;re counting down to.</p>

<p>She went on to say that she found it hard to breathe while thinking of them during the nail-biting, four-day search for her brother and nephew.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I personally have found it kind of difficult to breathe thinking of them.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">U.S. Coast Guard Confirms Debris Found Was From Titan, Caused By &#8220;Catastrophic Implosion&#8221;</h3>
<p>Officials with the U.S. Coast Guard had confirmed the five deaths of the aforementioned father-and-son duo, British businessman Hamish Harding and Stockton Rush, both of whom founded OceanGate CEO together, and Paul-Henri Nargeolet, a French diver.</p>
<p>On Thursday, debris from the vessel&#8217;s hull was located 1600 ft. from the bow of the Titanic on the sea floor, Rear Admiral <strong>Wayne R. Arguin Jr. </strong>said in a press conference Thursday.</p>
<p>Arguin added that the ship suffered a &#8220;catastrophic implosion.&#8221; However, it remains unknown what caused the implosion and when exactly it happened.</p>
<p>The tragic news ended a four-day search-and-rescue effort. International maritime agencies quickly came together to try and locate the missing Titan. However, they were tragically unable to do so.</p>
