RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] MIR's at North Pole



Reuter's really messed up the video footage on this one.
 
"News agency Reuters has been forced to admit that footage it released last week purportedly showing Russian submersibles on the seabed of the North Pole actually came from the movie Titanic.
The images were reproduced around the world - including by the Guardian and Guardian Unlimited - alongside the story of Russia planting its flag below the North Pole on Thursday last week.

But it has now emerged that the footage actually showed two Finnish-made Mir submersibles that were employed on location filming at the scene of the wreck of the RMS Titanic ship in the north Atlantic some 10 years ago.

This footage was used in sequences in James Cameron's 1997 blockbuster about the 1912 disaster.

The mistake was only revealed after a 13-year-old Finnish schoolboy contacted a local newspaper to tell them the images looked identical to those used in the movie."

....Just read this off of Forbes, the MIRS are submerged on the seafloor on the North Pole at this moment!
 
To get back through the ice, I suspect they will have to make mid-course corrections on the ascent....this is really neat stuff!
