My grandfather was on that ship that night it was also his birthday not something he called a birthday that day! Today he is 79 years old and talks about it! We celebrate at a baseball game on his birthday!

I'm from Sweden and I remember when I started the radio that morning and heard about Estonia.
They say that almost everybody in this country knew someone who died on Estonia or know someone who lost a friend or family.
I have a friend who lost a friend

Blue Star Line, I just want to let you know I remember watching your videos such as Estonia, a Nightmare At Sea, and Cruise Olympia loss of a ferry. A lot of that really contributed to my love for ships as a kid, and I'm amazed with how far you've come.
Keep it up.

I remember the night, or rather the following day, very well, even though we were not affected. My uncle was a chief radio operator at the coastguard and heard everything over the radio. Little by little, new information kept coming in. We traveled a lot on the Baltic Sea by boat ourselves and found it hard to explain how this could have happened. After all, she wasn't a small ship back then. We followed all the news ourselves and hoped that it wouldn't be so bad.
Accidents are tragic and happen, but it's a lot worse when you don't know why and how. As far as I know, the investigation is still ongoing. We manage to solve murders that happened 40 years ago. We dive to the Titanic and know almost everything about its sinking, but despite today's possibilities, we can't find the exact cause of the Estonia's sinking. Despite a depth of only 80 meters.
My condolences once again to all the families and others involved or concerned. Special thanks also to the many rescue teams.

My moms old gymnastics coach died on M.S Estonia! Much ppl who were on that ship were from Võru and my mom was 9 at the time (she lived in Võru) I almost lost my grandfather bc he almost went to Sweden and then Germany but he did it the opisite (he was Võrus mayor at that time!) way Im so glad he chose that way!

this was absolutely terrible. I'm from Finland, so that touches. My relatives also died in the accident I only remember how upset my grandmother was for a long time after the accident. She was not on board but her sister was and perished. My grandma never went on a ship after that. my grandmother passed away only about a year after the accident. part of the reason was his sister going away

You have brought this tragic sinking back to life, sir. Well done on the animation. Rest in peace to all the victims of this tragedy👍🏼👍🏼

3:20 oh my god. this was absolutely terrifying to live through. Shoutout to the pilot

[BHuang]

30 years ago seems alot closer than the sinking of the Titanic!
One of the worst peacetime marine disaster in Europe!

Unfortunately, everyone who touches on this topic without exception does not understand the main thing and simply stupidly repeats the mistakes of not very smart experts and investigators. 1) Estonia was going starboard forward (in starboard drift). 2) The visor floats perfectly. 3) ... and so on.
But the video is excellent. The author is great!

I lived near estonia Stockholm port. Same night seeing News about the disaster . I cried because we also joined eu

Estonia was the reason why I REALLY do not like night ferry rides, regardless how long it would take. RIP to all 852 souls lost that day.

Recently heard about this from tiktok and cant imagine how terrifying it must have been for on board passengers. The fact that it sank quicker than the titanic juat gives this sense of helplessness that makes this way more devestating (not trying to say that the Titanic was not as devestating of course it was) but with the titanic many people at least had a chance of survival. Does anyone know how many survived the Estonia if any?

What happened to the Titanic 2 project? Please answer

[realrailwaypianist]

I have a recommendation: The MV E. Evanghelia. An Irish built ship owned by Greece that crashed off the coast of Constanța. Its wreck is famous among tourists.

If the ships of Roble has it's design it's very cool

[RentonRails]

The MS Viking Sally / Estonia Design was One of my Favorites, and I was pretty upset when i found out he only had one ship that resembled her (Viking Song). Rest In Peace to the Victims

[marcosjuarez]

I still think that MS Estonia has sunk in rough seas due a miscalculation.

30 years already. R.I.P for all who died

What is the game that you use to make these animations, and what platforms can I use?
