Dawood said \u201cthere wasn\u2019t much they could find\u201d of the remains, which were recovered from the seabed and separated as best they could be through DNA testing by the US Coast Guard.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey have a big pile they can\u2019t separate, all mixed DNA, and they asked if I wanted some of that, too. But I said no, just what you know is Suleman and Shahzada.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dawood was the one who found the trip and bought the tickets. She was meant to be on the trip with her husband, but gave her ticket to her son.<\/p>\n
It is believed those on board died \u201cin milliseconds\u201d after a \u201ccatastrophic implosion\u201d when the Titan imploded on its journey to the Titanic, the Herald reported.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy first thought was, thank God,\u201d Dawood told the Guardian. \u201cWhen they said catastrophic, I knew Shahzada and Suleman didn\u2019t even know about it. One moment they were there and the next they weren\u2019t. Knowing they didn\u2019t suffer has been so important. They\u2019re gone, but the way they went does somehow make it easier.\u201d<\/p>\n
An investigation by the US Coast Guard found that OceanGate chief executive Stockton Rush disregarded critical warnings and that his negligence contributed to the deaths of all five on board, the Independent reported.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the beginning, I had a lot of reasons to hate Stockton, but does that really help me?\u201d Dawood told the Guardian.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe died with them. If I\u2019m angry with him, I\u2019m giving him power and I refuse to do that. I\u2019m sure people will say I\u2019m naive, but if I start to analyse every single thing, where does that lead me? So, I choose my own … not happiness but … I choose me, every day. If I don\u2019t, I wouldn\u2019t be here. I would have killed myself, for sure.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s very hard. Being strong doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re not feeling it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dawood said \u201cthere wasn\u2019t much they could find\u201d of the remains, which were recovered from the seabed and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":405300,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[74,40548,138,1359,10109,208762,78,5836,111,139,69,49478,10715,1517,208761,98290,4499,51139,102443,165,17918,12628,8844,1842,1354],"class_list":["post-405299","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-after","tag-boxes","tag-business","tag-described","tag-husband","tag-implosion","tag-in","tag-lost","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-receiving","tag-remains","tag-reveals","tag-shoeboxes","tag-slush","tag-small","tag-sub","tag-submarine","tag-their","tag-titan","tag-tragedy","tag-victims","tag-wife","tag-woman"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/405299","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=405299"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/405299\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/405300"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=405299"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=405299"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=405299"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
