25 years ago today, Kursk, an Oscar-class submarine of the Russian Navy, suffered an on-board explosion and sank in the Barents Sea during a military exercise, killing 118 people.

I recall the sinking and explosion didn’t kill the sailors. They died of asphyxiation because the Russians didn’t want any help rescuing them.

Yes, I don’t know how accurate it is but I recommend the 2018 movie about it.
