Could anyone check this and add to the article if real?[edit]

Soyuz-23. 1976 Oct 16. After successful launch, the space station rendezvous failed and a mission abort landing was declared. By freak chance, DM came down on Lake Tengiz 2 km from shore. Electrical short in water caused deployment of reserve parachute. Both parachute lines kept capsule lying on its side in water, preventing hatch opening and blocking air vent. Transmission antennas became inoperable due to submersion. Inner walls became covered with ice. Recovery forces concluded crew was dead, dragged capsule to shore, awaited special team to remove bodies. Hatch opened by crew after eleven hours. 'Spaceflight', August 1995, p. 283, largely based on "Between the Lines of Official Reports", V. Gorbunov (chief instructor at GCTC), 'Aviatsiya i Kosmonavtika', 1993.

Conflict between introduction and main text[edit]

While not technically wrong, "While there was no concern about any immediate threat to the crew" gives the impression no one feared for the life of the crew, but in the main text we learn that rescue teams expected the crew to be dead after several hours. Maybe we can add "due to the length of the rescue mission, it was assumed the crew died before the cosmonauts opened the hatch" or something like this? --mfb (talk) 03:19, 17 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
