The heartbroken mother of a Glasgow student who died on board the Titanic submersible with his dad says the teenager took his Rubik's Cube with him because he wanted to break a world record. Suleman Dawood, 19, applied to Guinness World Records and his father, Shahzada, who also died, had brought a camera to capture the moment.
The pair perished on the vessel alongside three other crew members after the sub imploded underwater. Christine Dawood and her daughter were on board the Polar Prince, the submersible's support vessel, when word came through that communications with the Titan had been lost.
Mrs Dawood said they hugged and made jokes in the moments before her husband and son boarded the Titan submersible. She said the Strathclyde University student loved the Rubik's Cube so much that he carried it with him everywhere, dazzling onlookers by solving the complex puzzle in 12 seconds.
