Russian Sub rescued
BBC
Quote:
A Russian mini-submarine stranded for three days beneath the Pacific Ocean has been brought to the surface after an international rescue effort.
The seven-man crew, who had faced low temperatures and dwindling oxygen, are all alive and were able to climb out of their submarine unaided.
The vessel, trapped 190m (620 ft) down, surfaced at 1626 (0326 GMT).
A British underwater robot helped rescue the craft, slicing through nets and debris entangling the submarine.
Russian military medics were on standby to treat the men, who had faced temperatures as low as 6C (43F) and a faltering oxygen supply.

At least Russia allowed outside help before it was too late this time.

Re: Russian Sub rescued
Excellent stuff. And yeah, it was good that the Russians decided to allow us to help. So tragic they had to learn the hard way

Re: Russian Sub rescued
Good to hear that they're safe, but I'm thinking that the Russians only let us near the sub because it was a rescue sub, not a "proper" Navy sub complete with military secrets
