US joins Russian submarine rescue
Topics:HarryTho, a Hyscience contributor to Natalee Holloway updates, a mystery writer, and a former submariner, emailed me about this story. Fox has been reporting it all day long, but this 'iol' news article by Charles Aldinger, provides a little more info.
The US military will fly an unmanned, Navy mini-submarine to Russia on Friday to join an attempt to rescue seven Russian sailors trapped aboard a military mini-submarine on the Pacific floor, Navy officials said.Read more ..."The deep-diving submarine 'Super Scorpio' will be flown from San Diego to Petropavolvsk on an Air Force C-5 transport along with a team of Navy operators at the request of the Russian Navy," said Lieutenant JG Maria Miller, a Navy spokesperson at the Pentagon.
Miller told Reuters that the little vessel, capable of cutting through steel cable, would be moved by truck to a Russian ship to be taken to the scene in an attempt to aid in the rescue.
Apparently, Britain is also providing unspecified support for the rescue effort. All of us can only hope and pray that the men are reached in time. There seems to be a lot that needs to be done in a very short period of time, if these men are to be saved.
