A family member of one of the passengers on board the doomed Titanic exploration submersible vehicle said that he didn’t want to go on the trip due to fears for his safety.

Azmeh Dawood said her nephew, 19-year-old Suleman Dawood, told a relative that he “wasn’t very up for it” but went anyway to make his father, Shazada Dawood, happy on Father’s Day. Shahzada Dawood was one of the richest men in Pakistan as the owner of the Dawood Hercules Corporation Limited, an investment company, with some estimates saying the businessman was worth hundreds of millions to billions.
