Mother's Sacrifice: Teenager Takes Titanic Sub Dive Instead of Her, Tragically Dies

The mother of Suleman Dawood, who died with his father in the Titanic submersible, said she originally planned to join her husband on the vessel's fateful dive, but let her son go instead. Christine Dawood said she "stepped back" to give her teenage son a chance to visit the shipwreck "because he really wanted to go." The submersible imploded in a "catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber," killing all five passengers, including British-Pakistani multimillionaire Shahzada Dawood and his son. Authorities are searching the Polar Prince to determine if a criminal investigation into the implosion is necessary.
