Rescuers Race to Free Trapped Submarine

"PETROPAVLOVSK-KAMCHATSKY, Russia -- Russian crews looped cables under an underwater antenna snaring a mini-submarine on the Pacific floor Saturday and would try to lift them closer to the surface before air ran out for seven trapped sailors, a navy spokesman said.

Capt. Igor Dygalo described the rescue effort as U.S. and British crews with robotic undersea vehicles raced to reach the site of the accident off the remote Kamchatka Peninsula in the Russian Far East. A ship carrying British equipment was the first to leave port for the scene."
