Explosion on Russian Submarine Kills 14


football forum

Recommended Posts

Ok the mods can change the topic, but something is happening. I didn’t know what to write. 

Rumours going around that Americans have attacked a Russian submarine. 14 sailors dead. This is apparently a rumour. 

But something big has definitely happened. 

 

EDIT : Changed the title.

There was a fire onboard a Russian nuclear submarine in Russian territorial waters yesterday; 14 sailors died. No word about it being an attack though (so far).

Also there's no such thing as EU Security Council...

Pence's return was reportedly due to the airbase he was landing (Pease Air National Guard Base) at going into lock down after shots were heard.

 

I'm afraid there won't be the end of the World today.

Yep.

 

Most probably an accident. But conflicting reports coming out. First they announced they died instantly, before changing it being trapped alive and then died. 

Also, read it was on secret ops. I am no defence expert and this could be just an accident. 

On a side note, I am reminded of Hunt for the Red October.

Russia: Fire kills 14 sailors aboard navy research submersible

A fire aboard a Russian navy research submersible has killed 14 crew members, the Russian defence ministry says.

The crew were poisoned by fumes as the vessel was taking measurements in Russian territorial waters on Monday.

The ministry gave no details about the type of vessel. But Russian media reports say it was a nuclear mini-submarine used for special operations.

The fire was later put out and the vessel is now at Severomorsk, the main base of the Russian Northern Fleet.

The defence ministry did not say how many crew members were aboard at the time.

An investigation into the incident has begun under the commander-in-chief of the navy.

Russian President Vladimir Putin later on Tuesday pulled out of a scheduled event in the Tver region, north-west of Moscow, to discuss the issue with Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu.

Mr Putin described the incident as a big loss for the Russian Navy and expressed "sincere condolences" to the victims' families.

Seven captains and two service personnel awarded Russia's highest honorary title, Hero of the Russian Federation, were among those who died on board the vessel, the president said.

Mr Shoigu was ordered to go immediately to Severomorsk.
