The plane of seventeen-year-old American-born Pakistani Haris Suleman and his father Babar Suleman, who were attempting to fly around the world in 30 days, has crashed into the Pacific, DawnNews reported.

A family member confirmed that the body of Haris Suleman has been recovered by rescue teams. Babar Suleman has not been found at the time of writing.

The Sulemans had undertaken the challenge in a bid to raise money to help educate Pakistan’s poor children.

They were being supported in their endeavor by the Citizen’s Foundation (TCF).

They started their journey from Plainfield, Indiana, in the US, on June 19, and visited Canada, Iceland, England, Greece, Egypt and the UAE before reaching Pakistan.

The last leg of the trip included Bangladesh, Indonesia, Australia, Fiji, American Samoa, Kiribati, Hawaii and California, which they had intended to cover by July 20.

The boy had courage, and a daring father.

RIP.
a noble idea ,thought, gesture never goes wasted.
It was unfortunate it happened.
 
Been reading their blog, sad indeed. Pacific Ocean was the most difficult leg in my opinion. Weather, fatigue, engine failure, structural damage who knows but really sad.
 
Thank you for trying , better to try then to never dare to dream, Proud Father and Son
