Kursk Finally Lifted

Posted by timothy on from the long-way-back dept.

Michiel writes: "This site, dedicated to the salvage of the Kursk by Mammoet Smit, announced today that the Kursk has been lifted from the seabed and is currently on it's way towards surface. The Giant 4 (which is lifting the Kursk) is at the same time already heading to Murmansk. Mamoet Smit expects to reach Murmansk Monday morning. More information about the Kursk (and its salvage) can be found at Strana" You might to revisit this post about just how the lifting is done as well.

    Jesus, I thought that rumor died a year ago. Which talk radio station did you hear this gem from? Good thing they check their sources...

    Awesome? You insensitive bastard! Almost 200 sailors died and call the video awesome? I tell you, it's almost as big of an insult as calling a map "nifty"!
