20 year anniversary of russian sub disaster

Twenty years have now passed since the Russian nuclear sub K-278 Komsomolets caught fire and sunk in the Barents Sea off Norway on April 7th 1989.  The sub, including its nuclear reactor and nuclear warheads, are still resting on the bottom of the Barents in 5200 ft of water, slowly being buried under silt. The warheads were never recovered, despite several salvage dives.  The Russian government reports that the reactor and warheads should remain intact and not a threat to the surrounding environment until at least 2015.
