40 years ago today, 680 miles northeast of Bermuda, the Soviet Yankee 1-class ballistic missile submarine K-219 was on patrol when seawater leaked into a missile tube on the port side, triggering an explosion of the missile’s volatile liquid fuel that killed three sailors and crippled the submarine.
