On Saturday, August 12, the giant Russian nuclear submarine Kursk -- carrying a crew of 118 -- sank in the icy waters of the Barents Sea after what Russian officials described as a 'catastrophe that developed at lightning speed.' More than a week later divers opened the rear hatch of the sub but found no survivors. Our in-depth special examines the submarine, the disaster and the aftermath. The Russian military believes that a U.S. submarine sank the Kursk by colliding with it, and that the U.S. government is covering up the truth. Russian claims about U.S. military culpability have been swirling in Moscow for days. Recently, Defense Minister Igor Sergeyev publicly expressed on national television the Russian military belief that a U.S. sub caused the mishap. Sergeyev said debris of another submarine, not the Kursk, had been found near the sunken Kursk.
