A Russian oceanographer denied media reports on Tuesday that Mir deep submersibles had plunged deep into the Gulf of Mexico to determine the circumstances of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
"This is complete nonsense. We haven't been there. The Mir [mini-subs] have been working at Lake Baikal for three years, where a scientific expedition is under way," Anatoly Sagalevich told RIA Novosti.
