The Soviets were unable to locate their incredibly powerful machine, but the US Navy did. And with the cooperation of the CIA and billionaire Howard Hughes, they launched Project Azorian to salvage the wreckage, resulting in one of the most impressive naval engineering feats of all time. | Dark Documentaries | Facebook

The Soviet submarine K-129 sank in the Pacific Ocean on March 8, 1968, with its entire 98-member crew. The cause of the sinking is not officially confirmed, but theories suggest an internal explosion or a catastrophic accident, possibly while attempting a nuclear launch. The US located the wreck but could not fully retrieve it in the 1974 Project Azorian mission. - SSBN-X #reel #reels #reelsinstagram #reelitfeelit #reelkarofeelkaro #reelsvideo #video #instagood #videooftheday #instagramreels #in
