In this video grab, Russian rescue personnel return from a dive. The Russian military says that a fire on one of its deep-sea submersibles has killed 14 sailors.
The ministry said the fire was put out due to the self-sacrifice of crew members but didn’t say what is thought to have started it. It didn’t say how many people were aboard the submersible or if there were sailors who survived the fire. The name is apparently explained by the unique design of its internal hull, which is made of several titanium spheres capable of withstanding high pressure at great depths.
