No not pretty.

When you see those people walking inside the hull, it really shows how big it was.

Thanks for the heads up:up:

How did you find those? I had found some similar pictures shortly after it had been recovered, but I was unable to find them again.
Thanks

What happened to the Kursk after it was salvaged? Has it been scrapped? or, is it still being investigated?

Not that it is reliable, but a photo caption on Wikipedia said

Salvaged Kursk, minus the bow which was cut away during recovery, delivered to Roslyakovo dry dock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_dock) to be scrapped.

Who? Captain Lyachin? Senior Lieutenant Ivanov-Pavlov (how can you be a senior lieutenant when you are just out of sub school anyway), the torpedo combat unit commander? Senior Michman Ildarov who was the senior in the torpedo room? Someone else?

For the idiot crane driver who droped the torpedo upon loading he should have had the sence (and does have the authority) to refuse the weapon to go onboard the submarine it should have been taken back to the storage area for inspection.

Was the guy arrested, tried for treason as a Chechen terrorist, and then shot? People have been declared enemies of the state and executed in Russia for less...

In fairness, today's Russia does not have the death penalty.

That said, the infamous Chechen warlord Salman Raduyev happened to "die of a heart attack" within a couple of weeks of beginning his life sentence in a siberian penal colony a few years ago. I'm pretty sure I know what happened in reality, though, and it's best left unmentioned :dead:

Compared to a Russian penal colony, a quick death is a kind of mercy...
