This is the official memorial website, it offers a number of theories.

Untill they raise the front end of the sub we'll probably never know the truth.I feel sorry for the crew(some of whom may have lasted 3 days apparently)

Well the hope of ever raising the bow is now near immpossible, as well placed roumers have been said that russian naval divers have blown it up due to what it may still contain, so any evedence is probably been blown to bits.

absolute speculation funny enough 2 mins is the bogey time for a fire in the torpedeo compartment to set off the other torpedoes the info from the science station is compelling the first explosion then 2 mins later the 2nd which is the exact type of explosion as the first but multiplied many time these are the other torpedoes cooking off , no trailing sub would have come anyhere near the kursk its job is to monitor and report info what use is this info if you dont bring it back to base and in my experience the only nations sub that has ever used harrasing manovers is the russians we in the nato alliance do not conduct such manouvers what would be the point? yes those subs where their to monitor the exercise but the whole point is to monitor not acctually become part of the exercise althouogh US submariners like their army and airforce are prone to the odd gung ho incident no captain could ever justify such a risk too his own crew it just wouldnt happen

I know what you mean,but at the same time it's not the end of the world is it?

Rather than making the guy feel bad, why not move on and not read the post?

There's a couple of posts about how we should try to be nice to each other - so lets try eh?

And just for continuity
