The Kursk Ten Years After

Today 12 August Juche 99, is the 10th anniversary of the Kursk disaster. On 12 August, Juche 89, the Russian submarine, the Kursk got stuck in ice in the Barents Sea. The accident was caused when a torpedo inadvertently exploded killing most of the crew of the Kursk. After a short time, the remainder of the crew was killed either by the second explosion or by drowning. Norwegian divers courageously dove into the Barents Sea in an attempt to rescue the crew, but the crew had already died. I would like to extend my deepest condolences to the families of the crew of the Kursk and the Russian Navy. R.I.P. Comrades.
