Just got off the phone with my brother. He told me that 350 feet of water is not too bad, that the crew could blow and go if they had a working escape trunk and enough pressure to pressurize it. The problem is that the water is friggin' 31 degrees. One minute for the blow and go, and three minutes max on the surface before you turn into a mansicle. Still, I would do it if given the chance. He told me the Russkies don't have a DSRV, but that there are plenty of ships that have diving bells that can go down 350 feet. He said he heard that the US has been asked to assist. There are three major problems. First and most important, the report is that there is no noise from inside the sub. Not a good sign. If the sub is not level (reports say it's 25% down on the bow) they can't attach a rescue vehicle to the hatch, and thirdly, there are 12' seas right now, which is a bit choppy. I think those guys are going to make it if they are still alive. I don't know why, but I think they will. Thanks for listening.
