An underwater drama at the far, northern reaches of the globe has captured the attention of the world. Russian rescuers are trying desperately to save 116 seamen stranded in a crippled submarine. Despite the high winds at strong currentst, they're trying to lower an escape capsule to the stricken vessel.
But as Lee Cowan reports from Washington time is running out, and the Russians are refusing international offers of help.

((With air running low and the sounds of the crew becoming more faint, the Russian navy launched another desparate attempt to save 116 submariners trapped since Saturday on the icy bottom of the Barents Sea. Russian officials now say the sub suffered an explosion in one of its torpedo tubes, crippling the giant nuclear powered vessel and perhaps injuring several on board. Just after dark, the Russian navy made a second, frantic attempt to dock a 20 person escape capsule to the sub's cargo hatch, a delicate maneuver made nearly impossible by high seas, wind and rain.

(nats, US rescue sub)


A more modern rescue vessel based in San Diego has been put on alert by the U.S. navy, a submarine designed specifically for this kind of underwater rescue. Another submersible based in Glasgow, Scotland, is at the ready as well. But both are sitting idle. So far, the Russians have said thanks but no thanks to any offers of help.

(sot Tom Heron, Scottish Submarine Pilot, "The fact that we have... very

difficult.")
But even if Russia were to ask for outside help, docking with the Russian made Kursk might be impossible. Not only is the sub resting at an awkward angle, but her hatches may not be compatible with U.S. or other specifications to create an airtight link.))
