Russian Bathyscaphe Trapped
With 24 hours of air left a Russian Bathyscaphe (AS-28) carrying seven sailors snagged on a fishing net and was stuck 625 feet down on the Pacific floor Friday, and the United States and Britain were rushing unmanned vehicles there to help in rescue efforts.
Pacific Fleet Commander Adm. Viktor Fyodorov was quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying the air supply would last until sometime Monday. However, he earlier told Russia’s Channel One television that air would last “a little more than 24 hours.”
