Fourth rescue attempt fails for trapped mini submarine crew
Four men remain trapped on the Atlantic floor as a fourth rescue attempt using a diving bell is hindered by strong currents. Navy spokesman Lieutenant Commander R H Bisbing says air supply dwindles and divers hope for a slack tide between noon and 2 p.m. EDT as efforts continue. Clayton Link, 31, son of designer Edwin Link, is among those in the rear compartment.
