A shipwreck, many deaths… all kept secret? Chinese nuclear submarine 093-417 sank in the Yellow Sea in August, reports Daily Mail. The submersible would have been caught in a trap… orchestrated by the Chinese Navy. The objective was to capture British and American ships. According to a British report, 55 Chinese sailors died in this tragedy, which China refuses to acknowledge. Officially, there were no military operations of this type in the Yellow Sea (located between China and the Korean peninsula) in August, no submarines in distress, and therefore no casualties.

According to Daily Mail, the 55 crew members, including 21 officers and the captain of the nuclear submarine, died following a general failure which affected the ventilation and oxygenation systems of the device. Which would have caused the poisoning of the troops.

Beijing and Taiwan deny

What about the trap into which submersible 093-417 should not have fallen? The British report relayed by Daily Mail indicates that the tragedy took place on August 21, at 8:12 a.m. precisely. The submarine would have hit an obstacle, knowingly placed there to destroy enemy buildings. A British submariner told our colleagues: “It is possible that this happened and I doubt that the Chinese would have asked for international help for obvious reasons. » Concerning the alleged poisoning of the troops on board the submarine, this witness also considers this plausible. If British submarines are equipped with an emergency kit which generates oxygen in the event of damage, this is not necessarily the case in the armed forces of other countries.

Beijing and Taiwan have denied these rumors, widely relayed on social networks and the Internet in general. For its part, the Royal Navy also refused to make any official comment. The file falls under a high classification.
