Koursk submarine disaster revisited

international | sci-tech | other press Saturday January 08, 2005 09:59 by crap name - "who were the fecking lamanites?"

the flagship of the former Soviet Baltic Submarine fleet sank April 12 2000

On board were members of the high command of the Baltic Fleet of the Russian Federation.

who were taking part in a routine exercise with the usual crew.

118 souls were lost in the subsequent disaster.

Last night a documentary was aired on French TV by documentary maker Jean-Michel Carré, which points the finger of blame at the US navy.

Saying that the USA had two submarines both nuclear powered in the Barents sea at that time on a spying mission to see what the Schkval submarine of the Russian navy could do.

All the submarines have wicked names.

and wicked cargo.

The USS submarine "Toledo" never seemed to receive proper care and attention for the damage it sustained in the alledged collision with the "Kursk" and certainly didn't pop up in dry dock the way former head of the CIA George Tenet wanted it to.

This would have meant, would mean, that the submarine was potentially a submerged disaster zone.

We really have no idea what happens if a submerged nuclear powered submarine goes into melt-down.

Ask your local Hollywood film producer, write a script using your imagination, put in lots of special effects, and remember to send a powerful moral message to the future.

If you're not that together, you can post your version of the Kursk disaster in almost 2000 languages including Klingon on the "wikipedia.org" site the home of the Lamanites.
