Russian sub crew rescued
Just read on Yahoo news that they were able to safely bring up the seven guys who had been trapped in the Russian mini-sub.

yeah, it must have been hellish down there in a mini-sub, enclosed-in knowing your air and time was running out....
Hope they had a kettle and some tea-bags! (and some fresh milk - or ok, any old milk or whitener even) |

It's nice to finally have some good news coming from our media services.

Well, there was also a plane accident at the Pearson airport in Toronto a couple weeks ago (?), and no one was killed or seriously injured.
 I agree, it is nice to hear some good news. I'm glad the American and Japanese fleets (IIRC) could get there in time.

Yeah you'd think the Russians would have learned from the Kursk, which was made into a movie. Five years later and they still don't have the means to rescue their own people.
