Drunk Fishermen Hit Nuclear Sub!

Drunk Russian Fishermen Crash in to Nuclear Sub

We don't see a lot of Russian fishing stories, but when we do, the are often doozies!  Take for example the boatload of drunk fishermen who crashed in to a nuclear submarine at Avachino Bay on the far eastern Kamchatka Peninsula on Wednesday according to the Interfax news agency.

Apparently the submarine's crew had seen the approaching fishing boat and tried to warn it of the imminent collision, but the vessel ignored the signals. Interfax reported that a navy inspection team checked the trawler and found all of its crew drunk.

A Russian Pacific Fleet spokesman  said that the incident caused no injuries and inflicted only "insignificant" damage to the anchored submarine and that there was no radiation leak. Imagine the insurance claim form for that one!
