His mother said he was “so excited” to try and solve the puzzle by the Titanic wreckage.
The 19-year-old who died on the Titan submersible took a Rubik’s cube with him because he wanted to break a world record, his mother has said.
The 19-year-old had applied to Guinness World Records and his father, who also died, had brought a camera with him to capture the moment.Mrs Dawood said her son loved the famous square puzzle so much that he carried it with him everywhere and dazzled onlookers by solving it in 12 just seconds. “We had loads of hope, I think that was the only thing that got us through it because we were hoping and… we talked about things that pilots can do like dropping weights, there were so many actions people on the sub can do in order to surface.
Her daughter held out a bit longer, she said, until the call with the US Coast Guard where they were informed debris had been found.
