The Titanic foundation spearheaded by sub victim Paul-Henri Nargeolet is probing OceanGate head Stockton Rush’s claims of how safe his vessel was ahead of the fateful dive when it imploded on June 18, The Post has learned.

Rush was a “cavalier guy” according to RMS Titanic, Inc. president Jessica Sanders who is now reviewing whether the organization should have ever let Nargeolet board the vessel — which Rush told potenital passengers was “way safer than flying in a helicopter or even scuba diving,” or even “crossing the street.”

The Titanic foundation is now reviewing past records in the wake of the tragedy and questioning the truthfulness and veracity of Rush’s statements, Sanders said.

“We have now our own internal questions about the representations [OceanGate] made that we made the basis on giving PH the OK to go,” she told The Post.

[I suspect that there may be an element of CYA in this effort for RMS Titanic Inc, but it’s also probably a legit question that the other victims’ families are asking too. Those liability waivers only will take OceanGate and its investors so far in a case involving gross negligence, especially if it also involves false representations about the craft’s capability and testing. — Ed]
