[quote:Anonymous Coward 52449540:MV80MDgzMzY1Xzc0MDA5NDc4XzVDRTkwNUJE] The only solution reactor wise i can think of is either fusion reactors or thorium which are considerably safer. Otherwise basically we have many metal tubes(subs) floating around our oceans with enough highly radioactive material on board to probably wipe out an oceans life. ICBM wise maybe if we can get them traveling at very high hypersonic speeds the kinetic energy of impact would outweigh the energy of the nuclear warhead, meaning its not even needed. But im no scientist so im just speculating. [/quote]
Original Message
"The families of the 14 Russian servicemen who died after a fire broke out on a nuclear submarine have reportedly been told that their relatives averted a “planetary catastrophe” before they passed away.
A high-ranking military official is said to have made the comment at a funeral for the crew in St Petersburgh days after the accident in the Barents Sea earlier this week.
The incident remains shrouded in mystery after the Russian government refused to reveal the submarine’s name and its mission, claiming them as state secrets."

I wonder what really happened, those are some big words to be sounding out. That under any other than truthful situation would be patronizingly preposterous.
