Raw: Kiwi-made submarine closes in on world speed record

A Kiwi-built, human-powered submarine has made a splash in an international race, falling just a knot short of a new world record. The 3m-long fibreglass Taniwha, the creation of a team of researchers and students from Auckland University's Auckland Bioengineering Institute (ABI), turned heads when it hit the water at the 12th International Submarine Races, held in the US last week.
