TITANIC SUB SABOTAGED BY CHEAP PARTS & BAD DESIGN

Dive company exec’s brazen corner-cutting led to 5 deaths

MINI-SUB pilot Stockton Rush effectively sabotaged the submersible Titan’s doomed dive to the Titanic’s watery grave in the Atlantic — resulting in his own death and killing four other adventurers, tech experts say! 

Shocking new analysis reveals Rush – the 61-year-old CEO of the submersible’s operator, OceanGate Expeditions — cut corners by using substandard materials purchased on the cheap, ignoring repeated safety warnings and even hiring college kids to engineer the craft’s electrical system, The National ENQUIRER can reveal.

In a tragic twist to the June 18 calamity that also claimed the lives of British businessman Hamish Harding, 58, celebrated French explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet, 77, and Pakistani billionaire Shahzada Dawood, 48, and his 19-year-old son, Suleman, sources say Rush sealed his own fate with a cavalier attitude toward safety!

Insiders claim he carelessly cut corners on things vital to the vessel’s safe operation and shrugged off red flags raised by experts.

“This was clearly preventable,” declares William Kohnen, chair of the Manned Underwater Vehicles Committee of the U.S.-based industry group Marine Technology Society. 

Kohnen was one of several industry leaders who raised objections to OceanGate’s experimental approach in the construction of Titan and failure to pay an agency like the U.S. Coast Guard to inspect the sub for seaworthiness.
