    Looks like yard workers were most of the victims. CNN was referring to the cause of the death as the anti-fire "freon system" being activated...I'm assuming they meant Halon.

      Reporters cannot be expected to distinguish "freon" from Halon in a Russian explanation of the accident. Too bad for those that smothered.

        You're going on the assumption that there was any in the first place.

          Yeah, tough loss. RIP

          At least they didn't blame the casualties on an attack.

            What?? Our subs are much better than Russian subs. India should be buying stuff like this from us.

                Yeah, but our stuff is more expensive. Plus I think we sell only the really good **** to the UK.

                    Is there a reason that can't be the case?
