Kursk sailors lived only for about 8 hours autopsys show they died of coarbon monoxide poisioning and suffocation, many of them said bodys were badly burnt and the cause.

Air purification filter fell into oily water and caught light a known problem and its not unique to russia all modern submarines carry them.

The escape hatch wasnt jammed it was perfect working order, by the time the ships were over head on the first day the crew had just 2 hours to live, by the time any salvage vessel got there they were long dead.
