Russian Sub rescued with all hands!

There is always something haunting about accidents at Sea.
The Russian Submarine I wrote about here and here has been recovered with all hands.
MSNBC/AP has the story:

Trapped Russian sub surfaces with crew alive
Vessel with 7 sailors aboard was freed by British unmanned submersible
Seven submarine crew members trapped for nearly three days under the Pacific Ocean were rescued Sunday after a British remote-controlled vehicle cut away the undersea cables that had snarled the vessel.

The seven crew members, whose oxygen supplies had been dwindling amid underwater temperatures in the mid-40s, appeared to be in satisfactory condition, naval spokesman Capt. Igor Dygalo said. The seven were being examined by ship medics, he said.

Very wonderful news. The MSNBC/AP article goes into a lot of detail about the rescue.

I was a bit wrong about the rescue sub — it was a Super Scorpio but it was one owned by the Brits, not one of ours.
