In this Daily T special, Tim Stanley and Rachel Johnson speak to Christine Dawood, who lost her husband Shahzada and her son Suleman in the disaster.  In her memoir Ninety-Six Hours, she recounts the agonising wait aboard the support vessel as the search unfolded above the wreck of the RMS Titanic sinking, and reveals the heartbreaking decision that led her to give up her own seat on the submersible to her son, who had dreamed of making the dive.
