The mini-submarine with five people on board lost contact with the control center boat on the ocean water on Sunday. At this time, five people on board may enough oxygen for less than 10 hours. Five people on board are a British Billionaire, a Pakistani businessman, and his 19 years old son, a French technical expert, and the CEO of the company of this mini-submarine. According to a submarine expert, there is no recovery system for this depth of the ocean (4000 meters). He also admitted that there are a lot of things that need to worry not just oxygen such as the deep ocean atmosphere, carbon dioxide buildup, water, etc. There is a lovely story about the wife of the CEO of this mini-submarine. The CEO’s wife’s name is Wendy Rush. She is a great-great-granddaughter of a famous Titanic couple victims Isidor and his wife Ida. Isidor was a member of the US House of Representatives from New York. Isidor, his wife, and their maid were on the Titanic boat for their return from a European traveling.

When the Titanic began to sink, Ida refused to get on the lifeboat without her husband. According to some Titanic survivors, Isidor refused any exception for him to get on the lifeboat with his wife because there were a lot of women and children waiting. She handed her fur coat to her maid and insisted that her maid get on the lifeboat. They were seen arm in arm on deck. Eyewitnesses described the scene as a remarkable exhibition of love and devotion. Isidor’s body was recovered but his wife was not. I don’t know why Holihood doesn’t make a movie about this lovely story.
I pray God and Isidor and his wife make a miracle for the passengers on board.
Update about mini-submarine. The US Coast Guard officials said that the debris found near the Titanic wreckage is from the mini-submarine. They detailed that after analyzing the debris, they believed that all passengers died instantly from an implosion of the mini-submarine. They don’t know if they can recover the bodies of the victims because of the hostile environments at the scene.
There is some information about the victims:
Stockton Rush, 61. He was the CEO of the mini-submarine company. His wife is a great great granddaughter of the lovely couple of Titanic victims that I mentioned above.
Hamish Harding, 58. He was a billionaire in the Aviation field. He traveled to the South Pole several times. He also explored space in 2022 with former astronaut Aldrin.
Nargeolet, 77. He was an expert from the French Navy. He was a director of the company which has the right to the Titanic wreck. This company has recovered thousands of Titanic artifacts from the seabeds.
Suleman 19 and his dad Dawood 48. Dawood came from the richest family in Pakistan. His family lives in London, England. According to his sister, he was fascinated by the Titanic story. According to his sister who currently lives in Amsterdam, Netherlands, his son was reluctant to travel with him because his son was scared of the dangerous exploration. He pleased his father by going with him because Sunday was Father’s Day. I don’t know why a father was ok for his son to go with him on the dangerous exploration.
I send condolences to all victims’ families. Life is suffering, we all have to deal with it at some point in our life.
