Christine Dawood

Christine Dawood, whose husband and son lost their lives on board the Titan submarine, has told the BBC that instead of her son it should have been her.

The Dawood family had started planning the trip on the Titan submarine for some time but their plans were postponed by the Covid-19 pandemic. And, on Sunday's ride, Christine had decided to pull out to give her place to her son Suleman.

"I took a step back to give Suleman the opportunity because he really wanted to go," Dawood said in her first interview since the explosion that killed five people aboard the submarine.

"I was very happy for both of them, they have been wanting to make the trip for a long time."

Asked how he feels about the fact that his son died after she gave way, Dawood refused to answer.

She also told the BBC that her 19-year-old son was obsessed with the Rubik's Cube, which he could solve in 12 seconds, and that she had taken him on the trip.

As for the tragic end of the father-son journey, Christine says she had hope until the last moment.

"Everyone thought the submarine would surface. We had a lot of hope."

The Dawoods are from a prominent Pakistani business family.

Dawood Hercules Corp., their business, is among the largest companies in the country, with a portfolio that includes energy, petrochemicals, fertilizers, information technology, and food and agriculture.

The Titan submarine disappeared on June 18, about 1 hour and 45 minutes after it descended to explore the wreckage. On Thursday, debris from the submarine was recovered by search teams, indicating that the vessel had suffered an explosion that killed those on board.
