Clear Weather Aids Kursk Search
From Times Wire Reports
Russian and Norwegian divers extended their working hours during a spell of clear, frosty weather over the Barents Sea, struggling to search the sunken nuclear submarine Kursk before storms again set in. After retrieving 12 bodies from the stern of the wreck in the Arctic depths, the divers sealed the entrances to the rear compartments and moved their search to the mangled front. The fore sections of the Kursk were ripped apart by an explosion that sank the vessel Aug. 12. All 118 men aboard the Kursk died.
