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.

    I know it's lame to reply to one's own post but please bear with me.

    Recovering the contents of the Kursk will be one of the most valuable parts of this operation. There will be important documents, equipment, and personal belongings to be sorted out.

    In the case of the Slashdot Cruiser, however, they will find only burrito wrappers, a Big Chief Tablet with handwritten notes about geeks in a "post-something-or-other" world, and half a tube of KY.
