Russian Mini-Submarine Stuck on Sea Floor

Just the mention of her did the trick.

I've been gone most of the day, trying to catch up now... I think you are right, and this IS the Russian DSRV.

Dear Lord, Please help these men be rescued, if it be Thy Will. In Jesus' Name we pray, Amen.

It's still one of my favorite movies, too. Recorded it on VHS many years ago. Which reminds me, that's one I need to transfer to DVD, now that I've got this fancy 'Combo'.

Your feelings re Alec Baldwin (puke, choke, hack)are mine as well!!!

And it is really too bad because he did a great job as Jack Ryan in that movie.

[meema]

I agree. It's too bad these actors have to wave their politics around so much.

any relationship to "classygreeneyedblonde"?
She used to post here.

I thought CGEB turned out to be a middle-aged man, just messing with freepers. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Has anyone heard an update on the sub in the last hour?

Thanks for the link, I just read about the Russians trying to 'blow' the anchor off the sub... yikes.... aim very carefully.

Arent nets designed to be hauled in?
I read this AM that the Russkies had dragged the boat 100 yds closer to shore, but the work was progressing to slowly.

If they have lines on the boat I say PULL MAN!

Perhaps they are concerned with damage to the pressure hull.

Oh, and get this...The AP reports that they are snagged on an underwater "antenna" L0L WTF? ELF array?

It is only no hard because there is air under it. Set it in a very thin layer of water and try that again. Hard. Now try it in a large tub of water. Easy again. He is not confusing the two. The difference is that solids and near solids don't transmit pressure the way true fluids do. Setting something on the floor does not relate since there is not viscus boundary to crate a suction when you pull it up. What do you think the force of a suction is except the pressure of standard atmosphere pressing down. A suction cup (or section of wall sitting in a thin puddle of water) could be pulled up with less force if it was at high altitude. It is the pressure difference between the out side and the inside. Any time you create a viscus boundary around the base of an object sitting in a flat solid you create a suction situation where the ambient pressure can't equalize between the object and the surface and that pressure will reside .separating the two (with the help of a tiny viscus force)

Physics, obviously, is not your strong suit.

The Russians made it out. YEAH!

Have a good day.

[TalonDJ]

Yeah, I am pretty sure they gave me that mechanical engineering degree just for showing up. Good thing I don't engineer anything important for a living, like say, airplanes.

[green iguana]

Good thing, yes.
