(UK): Explosion kills submariners under Arctic ice cap

(Source: The Guardian) A story reminiscent of a movie I saw as a kid called Ice Station Zebra:

Two British sailors were killed yesterday by an explosion aboard HMS Tireless, a nuclear submarine on exercise with US vessels under the Arctic north of Alaska, the Ministry of Defence said last night. In an emergency procedure, the vessel broke through the ice to surface following the blast.
