I heard, though, Fionn, that the ammunition they were issued for the manoeuvres was TNT, which would mean the detonation of between 1 1/2 and 2 tons, to measure 3.5 (the revised figure) on the Richter.

I also heard today that one Russian sailor is trapped in the airlock between the hatches, and he may be alive. The Norwegians, and the British, on the other hand, are trying to make a tool that will open the damaged hatch.
They've been at it all day, by all accounts.

More to come, no doubt.
