Russian submarine’s crew alive after robotic vehicle rescue
‘A small Russian submarine was freed today from an undersea entanglement off the Far East coast by an unmanned British rescue vehicle that cut away the material that ensnared it. All seven crew members were alive and rushed aboard a Russian surface vessel, where they were being examined by a medical team, Russian news agencies and the U.S. Navy said.
The vessel rose to the surface at 4:26 p.m. local time, ending the crew’s nearly three-day ordeal in the cold and darkness more than 600 feet below the surface of the Pacific Ocean off the Kamchatka Peninsula. There remained uncertainties about how the submersible, a 44-foot-long rescue vessel, became disabled, and what immobilized it.’
