Rescuing 500 crewmembers of an abandoned ship in stormy seas? taxi Apr 2022 #3

Don't think the US has anything close by. The Russians will save Tomconroy Apr 2022 #5

The two things coming to mind are taxi Apr 2022 #7

Any naval vessel in the vicinity would assist, if possible, in rescuing the crew COL Mustard Apr 2022 #8

Now there's one hell of a thank you, shooting at rescuers! taxi Apr 2022 #9

A captain can't hazard his vessel COL Mustard Apr 2022 #71

It is a difficult decision under any circumstances. taxi Apr 2022 #73

I see what you did there gaskinite Apr 2022 #42

I'm not sure any rescue attempts would have done much good. backscatter712 Apr 2022 #48

Yea, that's possible. Another angle is they blew it up themselves upon losing a critical system or 2 taxi Apr 2022 #54

There were not 500 sailors in the sea Lithos Apr 2022 #51

Agree, this has to be a near total loss of life, in any scenario. taxi Apr 2022 #59

Seeing reports where a Turkish ship was close enough to save 54 Lithos Apr 2022 #61

Didn't they evacuate the crew already? wryter2000 Apr 2022 #78

That's what they were saying. Confirmation of sinking came after the pentagon press release today taxi Apr 2022 #81

Russians won't give any true actual depiction of what really happened..... Lovie777 Apr 2022 #4

They abandon a ship if it's likely to sink. Tomconroy Apr 2022 #20

nighttime rescue from a sinking ship in a storm is already insanely hard Amishman Apr 2022 #27

Was there a storm at the time? wnylib Apr 2022 #32

No, they'd abandon ship and land in the water Warpy Apr 2022 #41

Well, the fire would have made it easier to see.... COL Mustard Apr 2022 #72

Probably not completely, but in that Twitter post, Chicago1980 Apr 2022 #37

That is what reports have said Warpy Apr 2022 #55

Yep. Read that this morning. Homegrown Ukrainian system. paleotn Apr 2022 #77
