The Kursk. Yes, everyone on board died. This is a different animal - it's a mini sub, but basically the same problem. I think it looks like the Russians have been far more willing to ask for help with this sub than the last one...with the Kursk there was at least a chance that the people could have been saved if the Russians asked for help earlier.
