The passengers identified so far include Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, his son Suleman, and British billionaire Hamish Harding, who resides in Dubai. French Navy pilot Paul-Henry Nargeolet and Stockton Rush, the CEO of tour company OceanGate, were also believed to be part of the expedition. Sheikh Hamdan highlighted the dedicated work of the search teams while emphasizing the collective prayers and wishes for their safety and a positive outcome.

The Titanic wreckage lies approximately 700 kilometers off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. With time ticking, authorities have disclosed that the submersible has around 40 hours of air supply remaining. A massive search effort, spanning a vast 20,000-square-kilometer area in the North Atlantic Ocean, is currently underway to locate the small vessel and its occupants.

As the US Coast Guard and its Canadian counterparts tirelessly comb the designated area, the urgency to find and rescue the missing submersible grows. Sheikh Hamdan's sentiments echo the concerns felt by people around the world, as they anxiously await positive news regarding the fate of those aboard the vessel.

The thoughts and prayers of Dubai and its inhabitants are with the passengers and their families during this challenging and uncertain time. The hope for a safe and successful rescue operation remains steadfast, as international efforts combine to bring the individuals back home, ensuring their well-being and reuniting them with their loved ones.
