The #submarine that is missing from a visit to the #Titanic reminds me of the Kursk desaster 23 years ago. The Kursk was a huge Russian nuclear sub that sank after 2 explosions. The rescue buoy had been disabled earlier on purpose. The #Russian military didn't start a search for 6 h, then refused outside help.
Could they have been #rescued? We will never know. But the Russian #marine alone could not or did not want to save them.
Knocks were heard for 3 days. All 118 poeple on board died.

Onboard the doomed #submarine #Kursk, Officer Dmitry #Kolesnikov, in his dying hours, in the dark, wrote a #love poem to his wife whom he had married just a few months earlier. I will never forget that. It rhymes in #Russian.
When the death hour comes
Though I'm shooing these thoughts away
I want to have time to whisper one thing:
Darling, I love you.
