Scottish student among the missing on Titanic submarine as frantic search continues

A Scottish university student is among five people trapped on the missing Titanic submarine, it has been confirmed.

The Record reports how Suleman Dawood, 19, is one of five people on board the vessel which vanished during a dive to the famous ship wreck. Suleman's businessman father Shahzada, 48, is also on board.

It emerged that Suleman is currently studying at Strathclyde University in Glasgow. Deans said they were "deeply concerned" about the student and the others in the vessel.

Rescue workers are continuing the hunt for the missing Titanic submersible while the oxygen supply on board is predicted to have ran out at 12.08pm on Thursday with the five people stuck inside.

In a statement, Strathclyde University bosses said: "We are deeply concerned about Suleman, his father and the others involved in this incident.

"Our thoughts are with their families and loved ones and we continue to hope for a positive outcome."

A desperate international mission has been underway to try and find the Titan vessel before their four-day oxygen supply ran out.

A US coast guard spokesperson previously said it will run out at exactly 12.08pm UK time today - but no trace has been found.

The craft submerged on Sunday morning, and its support vessel lost contact with it about an hour and 45 minutes later, according to the Coast Guard.
