When oxygen grew scarce, they attempted to replace a potassium superoxide chemical oxygen cartridge, but it fell into the oily seawater pooling on the floor and exploded on contact. > The resulting fire killed several crew members and triggered a flash fire that consumed what remained of the oxygen, asphyxiating the last survivors. That does not suggest a possibility of a foreign rescue vessel making it there in time.

- Mikhail_Edoshin 6mo agoChomsky wrote that Western media publishes only what is "useful" for certain ends, usually political. So you think the article is useful, don't you?
- nradov 6mo agoWhy would anyone care what a "useful idiot" like Chomsky thinks?
