I can't see of a Russian submarine thread without thinking of this commercial. A true classic.

Funny story: When the captain says "Slovar!", the captioned translation says "surface", but "slovar" actually means dictionary. Enjoy.

Article from the BBC.  Has a video showing wife of Oceangate’s CEO and captain monitoring audio and text communication from the sub.  You can hear audio of the implosion which sounds like a “door slam”. There was text that was received after the implosion which gave the wife a false sense that everything was ok.  Problem was that the sound of the audio traveled faster than the text message.

Also USCG investigation concluded that carbon fiber hull started deteriorating a year before on a previous trip.

“The footage was recently obtained by the USCG and shows Wendy Rush, the wife of Mr Rush, hearing the sound of the implosion while watching on from the sub's support ship and asking: "What was that bang?"”
