Glad to hear the crew are safe, and I'm glad that another Kursk situation was avoided...

In the end all that matters is the guys are safe:)
Of course its nice that it was our guys who rescued them, but its also good to know the US were also on their way out to help.

Good news, i cant imagine what it felt like down there.


Aside from the fear of dying, I heard that they said it was "very, very cold". I can imagine... but I'd rather not.
What an amazing rescue!!

Well done the boys in Navy blue. :D

To be fair it wouldn't have been possible without a little inter-service & international cooperation. The RAF flew the RN rescue team & the Scorpio craft out there & it was taken to the rescue area aboard a Russian ship. According to this report the team included civilans employed by specialist marine firm James Fisher Rumic which I assume owns the Scorpio.  A small team of US divers also helped. The Russians also thanked Japan for their assistance but I don't know if they played any part in the rescue. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4128716.stm
