Geez, I certainly hope that Harrison Ford was able to get off THIS soviet sub before IT sank. We just couldn't afford to lose his contributions to US foreign policy and brain surgery.

I'm not a sailor, but shouldn't a submarine under tow have had a safety boat or two hovering close at hand? How about it, Navy / Coast Guard types?

The pontoons were torn off by the fierce storm
I had wondered if they had used additional floatation devices for safety's sake. Sometimes the sea is just too powerful and there's not much men can do. They may be able to use various methods to lift this sub off the bottom since 560 feet isn't that far down (with today's modern equipment).
God rest their souls.
