Suleman Dawood agreed to the submersible trip because it fell over Father's Day weekend and he wanted to please his dad who was an avid Titanic fan, his aunt said.
A submersible carrying five people to the Titanic imploded near the site of the shipwreck and killed everyone on board, authorities said Thursday, bringing a tragic end to a saga that included an urgent around-the-clock search and a worldwide vigil for the missing vessel.
