San Juan submarine: 'Explosion' detected in hunt for Argentine vessel

The Argentine navy says an event consistent with an explosion was recorded near where a submarine disappeared last week with 44 crew on board. An "abnormal, singular, short, violent, non-nuclear event" had been detected in the south Atlantic, a spokesman said. The information came from an Austria-based anti-nuclear test watchdog, Capt Balbi said. It follows a report of a loud noise in the same area.

The ARA San Juan disappeared last Wednesday. More than a dozen countries including Russia and the US have sent assistance.

The new information was provided to the Argentine navy on Thursday by the Vienna-based Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO), Capt Balbi said. In a statement, the CTBTO said two of its hydro-acoustic stations had detected a signal from an "underwater impulsive event".

    There are decent patriotic Jews, and there are WTF strangely self-destructive Jews (white yet hating whites, welcoming muslims despite the obvious result, etc.) whose self-destruction has the side effect of harming the rest of us.

    Funny thing is, the decent patriotic Jews are now living in Israel as citizens of Israel. The USA got to keep the other kind.

    The sub was built in Germany. So what does that say?
