19-year-old who died on Titanic sub brought a Rubik’s Cube with him in a bid to break the world record

Suleman Dawood, the 19-year-old who died in the Titan submersible alongside his father and three others, had brought a Rubik’s Cube on the journey in hopes of breaking a world record, his mother has said.

The teenager had applied to Guinness World Records ahead of the mission to see the Titanic wreckage and had been “so excited” to try to solve the puzzle deep in the North Atlantic, his mother, Christine Dawood, told the British broadcaster BBC News.
