The Kursk: my husband ... had a premonition of death,

[RickSpencer]

It's time for someone to tell the truth about this tragic event. What happened to the Kursk and why did the Putin cover it up??

If there was ever a time for true democracy, it is now.

Olga Kolesnikova had been married only a few months when two unexplained explosions ripped through the Kursk on Aug. 12, sending it to the bottom of the Barents Sea and causing the death of 118 sailors, including her husband.
The 27-year-old lieutenant-captain from Russia’s second city, Saint Petersburg, said a strange, final farewell to his wife the last time he left for sea, she told NTV television.
“For some reason before he left for the last time he left this, I don’t know why,” she said in an interview a few days ago, holding Dmitry’s dog-tag and crucifix up to the light.
“It seems to me my husband ... had a premonition of death, and this is the main reason — when I went to see him in the summer not long before he went to sea, he wrote me this piece of poetry.”
“And when the time comes to die,
Though I chase such thoughts away,
I want time to whisper one thing:
‘My darling, I love you.’”

there is currently a theory on a few informed internet sites that it might have been a "friendly fire" incident during exercises :-(( And that the Kursk was hit by the Battleship "Peter The Great".

Sources can't be authenticated for this at present, however. It would help explain the cover-up, though :-(

Maybe there were some "secret tests" involved. I bet you´ve heard this before. But there is yet something to strengthen this theory. If there were some secret tests, then the Russian would like to aquire any info about it left in the Kursk.

I will present some directional facts;

1. Kursk was a modern sub. Why would an "accident" happen in Kursk, why not in any older sub...

2. The bodies are being lifted out of Kursk. But, as I´ve heard, most of the relatives to the dead don´t want them to be lifted out of Kursk. Then why lift them out?..

3. Divers from three nations are involved. (Britain,Norway and Russia) ONLY the Russians are permitted to go Inside the sub eventhought the Russians are the least experienced divers in the diving team.

However, this is just one of many theories, and I bet you´ve heard most of them.

I agree that Kursk was a modern sub. However, ANY sub which is not properly maintained can fail, even if it is only 3 months old. Within the submarine fleet, there is a rumour circulating that the Kursk had no batteries on board, as it was only going for a 3-day excercise, and "they would not be needed". If this is true, it sealed the fate of anyone who survived whatever happened to the Kursk. With batteries, they could have lasted several weeks with oxygen (although without heating and food conditions would have been deadly in any case). Without them, there was no chance.

But I agree with your idea about the testing. Russian radio was - at first - talking about "the crew of 118 men". Then, significantly, they began to talk about "the crew of 114 and the four specialists on board". I was sure that this was leading-up to an admission of what had happened. The specialists are known to have been ballistics guys - leading to major Russian media speculation that there was an explosion on board of some kind of new weapon which was defective?

I am personally sceptical. I don't see any reason to raise the bodies that justifies the risks to the divers. The relatives are not asking for the bodies to be recovered. I personally think this is a "cover" for them to inspect what REALLY happened on board the Kursk.

One Thing I'm very sure of is that Russian were testing a new Nuclear weapon and that is why Putin never allowed foreign intervention.
