Crew members rescued from sinking oil rig. As a severe storm hit in the Sea of Okhotsk on Sunday, December 18, a Russian oil rig being towed from the Kamchatka Peninsula towards Sakhalin Island began sinking quickly after a 5-meter high wave hit the vessel. The rig's lifeboats were washed away in the waves as well, leaving 67 crew members without any way to escape. Despite the harsh weather conditions and stormy seas, Russia's State Sea Rescue Coordination Center dispatched teams immediately to begin search and rescue efforts. Although 11 have been confirmed perished, another 14 were saved from the icy waters, with searches still ongoing for the remaining crew members. Our grateful thanks, all rescue team members, for your prompt and courageous efforts. With sincere sympathies for those who have lost loved ones, we pray for the safe recovery of the missing crew members and wish the survivors many cherished moments in the warm company of loved ones.

Russian train graveyard;-Hi Guy's, I have two very short videos here of some trains I saw and travelled on a recent work trip to Sakhalin, Sakhalin is part of Russia, and is Russia's largest island, which is about one-quarter the size of Japan, and just off the East coast of Russia, Look at these poor old trains we passed, left rusting and no doubt waiting to be broken up and scrapped in the not to distant future.
