The wife and mum of two of Titan sub victims has described the agonising wait after being told their tiny vessel had lost communications.
Christine Dawood - whose husband Shahzada and son Suleman set off for the once-in-a-lifetime trip on the morning of Sunday 19 of June - joined the pair for their launch and stayed aboard the Titan's mothership, the Polar Prince, with her daughter Alina throughout the horror ordeal.
Shortly after their descent, crew on the Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker told Christine that they'd lost communications, triggering an enormous search and rescue effort that saw ships from all corners of the globe travelling hundreds of nautical miles to the distress site.
