As already said, there's a lot of crap being told about this disaster already, also on TV.
So let me add my 2 gramms of crap

On a documentary i saw yesterday, the final resque roughly proceeded as follows:

a. russian resque sub failed to get in position to try to perform a resque. It's been told the russian resque sub was outdated and unsuitable.

b. england toke steps to bring it's ultra-high-tech-non-plus-ultra-resque-sub on the area.

c. the final resque attempt has not been made by ultra-high-tech-non-plus-ultra-resque-sub but has been performed by norvegian deep-frogmen witch proceded as follows:

1. With an hammer, knock on the hull in the hope to receive an answer from inside. No answer.
1a. Still doesnt mean there's nobody alive.

2. Open the main "entrance" of the Kursk.
2a. Main entrance is flooded.
2b. Assumption there are no chances left for someone to be still alive inside.

3. Open the internal door.
3a. Quite a quantity of bubbles raises from the internal (there was air )
3b. citation "later on it's been clear that this air was unsuitable for life" (how do they know? they encapsulated that air at the surface for analysis?)


I am probably missing something here
