Christine Dawood

The devastating true story that dominated the news agenda for days – the loss of the Titan sub in the North Atlantic; nothing less than a second, shocking Titanic disaster.

The widow and mother of two of the Titan submersible victims Christine Dawood discusses her deeply human memoir that chronicles the harrowing search and rescue operation following the OceanGate disaster in June 2023. Drawing on her real-time experience aboard the search vessel – from the moment communication was lost, to the tragic confirmation of the catastrophic implosion – Christine’s book speaks to anyone who has faced unimaginable loss while offering universal insights into grief, family bonds, and human resilience during crisis.

‘An unflinching hour-by-hour account of the unbearable tragedy that captured the world’s attention’ Pamela Gordon, Journalist and director of BBC documentary Implosion: The Titanic Sub Disaster
