I did not post this in bread 5505 but this is very interesting. I recall in 1989 when the movie 'The Hunt for Red October' hit theaters. As I sat in the theater watching the opening scene:
"In November 1984, shortly before Gorbachev came to power, a Typhoon class Soviet Sub surfaced just south of the Grand Banks. It then sank in deep water, apparently suffering a radiation problem. Unconfirmed reports indicated some of the crew were rescued. But according to repeated statements by both Soviet and American governments nothing of what you are about to see……ever happened."
As that scrolled across the screen it jogged a memory of something I'd read in the paper a few years earlier about an apparent accident that had occurred around 1984. Now I wonder if that news bit was leaked as the truth but then later covered up by the Titanic discovery?
