The bodies of three of the 18 sailors trapped in a submarine in India have been recovered by divers on August 16, and Indian officials say that it is “unlikely” that any of the other sailors survived.
The explosion, which happened around 48 hours ago, left sailors jumping from both the sub and nearby docks, and started a fire that took several hours to control.
Then word emerged that sailors were trapped in the Russian-made sub, while it sank into the water.
Rescue attempts have proceeded slowly and this is the first time any bodies have been recovered.
