Just keep your fingers crossed, and hope we get some back alive. Some comments on this thread are a little off key in my opinion. The Russians care about their people, and have been doing what they can to save the crew. This task is a formidable one and there are many factors that make it almost impossible; weather and the fact that the sub is listed on the bottom being the main problems. Far from being incompetent they have some good blokes out there, but they lack the equipment and the logistical ability that we in the west enjoy. They are constantly in my thoughts and prayers, they are sailors and not "the enemy" (even if they were the enemy, my duty would be out there trying to save them) Yours, Aye. Dave
