I started laughing when I saw the headline, but then caught myself. Obviously it’s not some festive occasion when submariners die in peacetime, even if they’re playing for the other team. At the same time, Russian submarines do have a pretty crappy record, safety-wise. It would be comical if sub problems merely ended up with the crew hitching a ride by the side of the road or waiting for a tow truck. Unfortunately, the reality is a high fatality rate.
I am very sorry for the sailors whose lives were lost.
