Hopes of miracle fade, 4 bodies pulled out of INS Sindhurakshak
More than two days after serial explosions on the vessel, carrying 18 naval personnel, triggered a massive blaze, naval divers have extricated four "severely disfigured" bodies since Friday morning, a defence spokesman said.
The bodies, according to spokesman Narendra Vispute, are so badly charred that on-the-spot identification was not possible.
"Miracles do happen....There may be some air pocket or some may have got access to breathing sacks," Navy Chief Admiral D K Joshi had said after inspecting the site of the disaster along with defence minister A K Antony on Wednesday.
However, a Navy release on Friday morning painted a grim picture about the possibility of finding any survivors inside the Russia-made underwater craft which sank partially after exploding.
