Here’s what we know about the five men who set out on an atypical expedition aboard a vessel, named the Titan, and were unaccounted for since Sunday:
Dawood, who graduated from Philadelphia University, also directs the family’s Dawood Foundation and is a trustee of the SETI Institute, a California-based research organization that searches for extraterrestrial life. The institute’s president, Bill Diamond, said Dawood is humble by nature and fascinated by the question of whether intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe.
“He said this was going to an extreme depth in a private craft, so I think he understood this was kind of at the edges of technological capabilities for us, but he didn’t seem to dwell on the risk,” Diamond said. Dawood holds dual British-Pakistani citizenship and sits on a number of charitable boards, including some linked to Britain’s King Charles III. He has spoken at the United Nations and
in Davos, Switzerland, where he shared his vision for a “sustainable future” and championed clean energy and business models that help uplift “low-income communities.”He is a fan of wildlife photography, gardening, his dog and exploring various natural habitats, his family said in the statement.
