Drunk Russian Fishermen Crash in to Nuclear Sub |
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!
Our Fishing Charters insurance would definitely NOT cover us for ramming a sub. We actually had a submarine surface not too far from where we were fishing just off the coast in Adelaide a couple of years ago.
