Insights from Shahzada’s Wife, Christine

During an interview with The New York Times, Christine revealed that she was the one who came across the advertisement for the Titanic’s expedition. Originally, she was meant to join her husband on the dive, but their plans were delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Eventually, their 19-year-old son took her place, meeting the age requirement for the expedition.

Christine fondly recalled her husband’s excitement about the trip the day before they set sail. According to her, Shahzada exclaimed, “I’m diving tomorrow! I’m diving tomorrow!” in the interview with The New York Times.

As mentioned in the interview, Christine and her daughter witnessed Shahzada and Suleman diving from the shoreline. However, after two hours, all contact with the sub was lost, causing Christine to panic.

The crew reassured her, explaining that such technical difficulties were not uncommon. They informed her that if contact could not be reestablished within an hour, the sub would release its weights and resurface.
