![]() A top naval official later said the men gave their lives preventing a “planetary catastrophe. In July, 14 sailors died in a fire aboard a nuclear-powered submarine in the Barents Sea in an incident on which officials initially refused to comment. ![]() Russia’s navy has suffered numerous high-profile accidents over the years. The incident comes after a series of massive explosions earlier last week at a Siberian military depot killed one and injured 13, as well as forcing the evacuation of 16,500 people from their homes. Russian media have speculated that the weapon being tested was the SSC-X-9 Skyfall, known in Russia as the Burevestnik, a nuclear-powered cruise missile that President Vladimir Putin introduced to the world in a brief animated segment during his state-of-the-nation address last year. Rosatom declined to comment on the incident Monday and a spokeswoman for the Sarov institute couldn’t immediately be reached. The authority hasn’t checked its air filters since the incident but expects to have results this week, she added. If you want to know about the real story of the men of K-19, the Russians say, just ask them, they're still around.Southerly winds and the large distance between the border and the explosion make it unlikely that Finland will detect any radiation, Pia Vesterbacka, director at Finland’s Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority, said by phone Monday. The topic of a submarine accident is especially sensitive in Russia after the Kursk tragedy in August 2000, when one of the country's most advanced submarines exploded and sank, killing all 118 men aboard.ĭiscontent over "K-19" follows similar displeasure in Russia about overseas film portrayals of its military, such as "Enemy at the Gates," a 2001 film about the battle of Stalingrad during World War II. Russian distributors have pledged 1 percent of the proceeds for families of victims of the K-19 accident. The film's Russian premiere is scheduled for October in St. Russian troops have seized Ukraines Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant after overnight shelling sparked a fire near one of the facilitys reactors, which burned for several hours. The threat to sue, Izvestia reported, is over alleged inaccuracies such as the heavy drinking habits of the submariners in the film and what they view as an incorrect portrayal of the conflict in leadership between the submarine's two top officers, played by Ford and Liam Neeson. Petersburg-based group of retired submariners, told Izvestia newspaper in an interview printed on Friday: "This film isn't about Russians, but about how Americans want to see Russians." Ship's electrician Victor Strelez told CNN: "I don't think that Americans can convey what we went through, only a Russian with a Russian mentality can convey it." The ship's commander says its his duty to defend his mens' honour and he's prepared to sue if the film is anything like the script he read. Engineers on the site didn’t seem too worried about the spikes in temperatures, however trying to conduct an experiment, they overlooked warnings, and even enhanced the problem to see what the results would be. All of it untrue, they say, and told with a distinctive Hollywood feel. On the night of April 26 1986, the nuclear reactor in Chernobyl’s plant began to overheat. The script, they say, depicted a ship that was always breaking down, and a crew that was always drunk and besieged by infighting. Harrison Ford came to Russia to shoot K-19, Widowmaker, to meet the actual crew members, and to show them a script. Russians say the rivalry in the film between Ford and Neeson is wrong They'd received ten times the lethal dosage of radiation. The sailors that completed the bulk of the work came out forty minutes later. They had masks on, but they got fogged up and they had to rip them off." You couldn't feel the radiation, but it was there in the air, in the water. "It was a very professional, very emotional scene. He spent 15 minutes inside the reactor compartment when the accident happened, and is lucky to be alive. He solved the problem of how to get water to the reactor, preventing a meltdown. 350,000 people living within a 30 km radius of Chernobyl. Yuri Filin was in charge of the nuclear reactor. On April 26th, 1986 the worlds worst nuclear disaster occurred at the Chernobyl power plant. A reactor meltdown inside the submarine would have been catastrophic for the 139 souls. Not to be left behind in the arms race, the Soviets decided to launch the K-19 before she had been completely tested. America had successfully launched its first nuclear Polaris missile submarine, the USS George Washington. ![]() K-19 was the first Soviet submarine to carry nuclear weapons. In a country still devastated by the loss of the Kursk nuclear sub two years ago, it's a sensitive issue. EW.COM review: 'Widowmaker' weak military flickīut they have kept their memories of how a group of brave sailors dramatically saved their sub, and perhaps the whole world, from a nuclear holocaust. |
