The Dawood and Harding families both paid tributes after Shahzada Dawood, Suleman Dawood and Hamish Harding died in the submersible, Titan.
“We are also indebted to our friends, family, colleagues and well-wishers from all over the world who have stood by us during our hour of need,” the statement said.
“We extend our heartfelt condolences to the family, colleagues, friends and all those around the world who grieve this unthinkable loss.” “What he achieved in his lifetime was truly remarkable and if we can take any small consolation from this tragedy, it’s that we lost him doing what he loved.” “Hamish Harding is a dear friend to me personally and to The Explorers Club,” Mr Garriot de Cayeux said.
Titanic director and submersible expert James Cameron told the BBC he predicted the outcome days earlier.“For the sub’s electronics to fail and its communication system to fail, and its tracking transponder to fail simultaneously – sub’s gone.
