Hopes fade for Indonesia submarine crew as oxygen dwindles

German-built craft is equipped with enough oxygen that would last only until Saturday morning after losing power.
Hopes of rescuing dozens on board a missing Indonesian submarine faded on Saturday as its oxygen reserves were believed to have run out, with the United States and Australia joining the hunt in waters off Bali. While warships, planes and hundreds of military personnel took part in a frantic search for the KRI Nanggala 402, authorities say the German-built craft was equipped with enough oxygen for only three days after losing power. But that deadline passed early on Saturday, with still no sign of the stricken vessel and its 53 crew.More Related News
