The five people on board the submersible that was going to the ocean floor to look at the Titanic, including British-Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, were thought to have died when the ship experienced what the authorities believe to have been a “catastrophic implosion” while it was in motion. He was 48. His 19-year-old son Suleman is also believed to have died inside the Titan submarine.
