MURMANSK, Russia -- Norwegian rescuers today said the escape hatch on the crippled Russian submarine Kursk could be removed, contradicting earlier reports that the hatch had sustained extensive damage. John Espen Lien of the Norwegian Armed Forces offered hope that the international rescue teams could gain entry to the stricken nuclear submarine with its 118 crew members. Norwegian divers have been flown by helicopter to the naval town of Vidyayevo on the north coast to study a submarine similar to the Kursk before they decide on the next stage of the rescue. The Norwegian deep-sea divers managed to remove the bolts on the submarine on Sunday, but there had been fears that the escape hatch had been too badly cracked to be opened. "The hatch is OK," Lien said. "It is not flooded with water. It will not take a long time to open the hatch." He added: "If we do it in the wrong way we could make further progress more difficult. "We are taking some time to do calculations and discuss the best solution." cnn.com
