Submarine Rescue

Program about the rescue of that Russian sub that took place last summer is being shown on BBC1 on Thursday night at 9 pm.

Quote:

One of the year's most dramatic and exhilarating stories â€“ the British rescue of a Russian sub trapped on the seabed of the Pacific Ocean â€“ is to feature in a special documentary on BBC ONE.

Submarine Rescue brings together the British rescue team and the submariners they saved in the heart-stopping race against time.

Almost five years to the day since the crew of the Kursk submarine had died, following a delay in calling for international help, the Priz submarine became entangled in a mesh of old fishing lines and metal cables in the ocean off the Kamchatcka Peninsula, Siberia.

After a failed Russian rescue attempt, an international emergency alert went out on Friday 5 August 2005. This drama documentary tells the inside story of the dramatic rescue when a top squad of Royal Navy contractors and their Scorpio sub were mobilised from their base in Renfrew, Scotland.

Then after the news there will be another showing of The Hunt For The Red October to round off the evening.

Great programme, well worth watching! Great to see two of the rescue team actually meeting the people they saved.

You may be american, english, scottish or russian but when your all submariners - it goes past that!

Job well done by the royal navy rescue team and that the russians asked for help!

i'm still wiping away the tears!!
