Scorpio underwater craft being loaded in UK, 5 August 05 The unmanned Scorpio craft helped free the vessel
A Russian mini-submarine stranded for three days beneath the Pacific Ocean has been brought to the surface after an international rescue effort.
The seven-man crew, who had faced low temperatures and dwindling oxygen, are all alive and were able to climb out of their submarine unaided.
The vessel, trapped 190m (620 ft) down, surfaced at 1626 (0326 GMT).
A British underwater robot helped rescue the craft, slicing through nets and debris entangling the submarine.
Russian military medics were on standby to treat the men, who had faced temperatures as low as 6C (43F) and a faltering oxygen supply.'
I am not a religous man but in these dark days this is a beam of hope that mans better side may prevail.
