After this summer's opéra bouffe at the Arctic where the Russians used a mini-submarine to plant a Russian flag under the North Pole, newly accessible as summer sea ice disappears

Of course, all we have to prove they did it are the tv pics they released of the event... Oh wait !!

Russian state broadcaster Rossiya had enhanced footage of the Arktika expedition with sequences taken by MIR submersibles for the 1997 film Titanic, as an illustration of the submarines in action, in which the Finnish-built bathyscaphes had explored the wrecked liner on the Atlantic seabed, London's Daily Telegraph reported on August 11.[15] The same images were rebroadcast by Reuters, which mistook them as actual footage of part of the expedition.

A Finnish 13-year-old, Waltteri Seretin, of Kemi, 450 miles (724,2 kilometres) north of Helsinki, had recognized the submersibles used in the voyage to the bottom of the sea as appearing in sequences director James Cameron's Oscar-winning drama
