If we come back to this story of 18th June, then 5 people were on board this submersible that day. The first was 58-year-old British billionaire, Hamish Harding. He was an adventurer and a 3-time Guinness World Record holder. In 2016, he went to the South Pole with astronaut Buzz Aldrin. At one time, he did a 4-hour dive into the deepest part of the ocean, Mariana Trench. And last year, he was part of the Blue Origin suborbital flight which was started by the space exploration company of Jeff Bezos.
The second passenger was Paul Henri Nargeolet, 77 years old. A former commander of the French Navy. He had visited the Titanic wreck 37 times. He was the director of underwater research of the RMS Titanic. The third and fourth passengers were a British-Pakistani businessman, Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son, Suleman. He was the owner of one of the biggest companies in Pakistan. Suleman’s aunt had said that Suleman was actually scared of going. But he went with his father to please him and to give him company on this journey.
