In 2000 the world watched and waited as a tragedy of horrifying proportions played out in the Barents Sea. Setting out on exercises on August 12, The Kursk, a nuclear cruise missile submarine, sunk after a series of chemical explosions ripped through the vessel. The disaster became an international incident when Russia rejected offers of assistance from Britain and Norway. |
