Sailor's last words tell a chilling tale
At least 23 alive for hours inside crippled Kursk
MOSCOW (Special) - The last scribbling of a dying man reveal that at least 23 sailors from the Kursk's 118-member crew remained alive, trapped and increasingly desperate as the air ran out aboard the sunken nuclear submarine, Russian officials said yesterday.
