The flash flooding in the forward part of the Kursk would have caused the bow to drop, pitching the 14,000-ton boat into a steep dive with steam turbines still delivering power to its twin screws. In seconds, the sub would have pounded into the seabed some 350 ft. beneath the storm-driven surface of the Barents Sea with a shock that would have hurled survivors against equipment and bulkheads.
