#13  There was a fire. Thing didn't blow up. Sounds positive to me.
Problem with the Russky PAO is getting the story straight, if not truthful. Hate to be a PAO in anybody's military, but especially not theirs.

#8  Sounded to me like people were more concerned that if it burned and the explosives from the torpedoes went off, there could have been a lot of fallout from the ICBMs. Aka, dirty bomb.

#2  So? It's a freaking missile sub, what else would be on it?

More idiocy from Reuters, who likely thinks if the sub burned down, the nukes would go off.
