Some quick info for anyone that doesn't know about this disaster. I am from Finland, which is where the disaster occured. The reason for the bow visor breaking off is disputed, most likely it was a failure of the locks on the visor due to poor maintenance, but some argue it was because of a collision with a submarine. After the visor broke off the ship quickly started listing heavily to starboard, passangers who were in their cabins were mostly unable to get to the liferafts due to the list. The crew onboard were unaware of the danger because the sensors said everything was alright. Thus the distress call was sent very late into the sinking, the coast guard actually never made it to the ship in time in real life, that is most likely added in for gameplay. In total 852 people died and 137 survived, i recommend reading about this sinking as it is quite interesting.

Thanks for playing our experience! We’re glad you found it interesting.

There was near to none in terms of awareness when the water started pouring in. The bow visor was not actually visible to the bridge crew, and there was no warning lights or alerts in the bridge. The bow visor detaching was heard, but the sounds cause was unknown to the crew.
There were no rescuers on location until 40 minutes after the ship had already sunk.
852 people died, and only 137 survived. No children and almost no eldery survived because of the freezing, stormy conditions.

Working in the ports of Stockholm, and having worked directly with a number of the vessels that responded on the day... It's hard to see anyone finding any entertainment value in this.

You can actually listen to the radio traffic between the MS Estonia and rescuing ships and the Finnish Coast Guard here on YouTube. It's chilling to say the least. When the operator on the Estonia speaks, you can hear the ship squeak and alarms going off in the background.

What contributed to so many casualties is that, even when the front came off, it wasn't visible from the bridge and nothing was damaged to the point that alarms went off automatically. They were raised manually after crew members went down to the cargo hold to inspect, if I remember correctly.

Saddest and scariest part of this was to learn how most of the deaths, well over half, never even made it out onto the deck and were stuck inside when it went under. Absolute nightmare to be stuck inside as the ship goes dark and ice cold water comes rushing inside.

As a Swede, this video was quite important for us and Estonians, Finns and many more! RIP to those who didn't make it

This is so cool. I like this simulation it is really like detailed and you can stay as it sinks or you can get rescue which is Amazing

The first helicopter arrived to the scene over an hour after the ship had already sank, so that timeline is not right on the game. But I bet it is for gameplay.

The listing is because of the 'free surface effect'. This is simulated with the Herald of Free Enterprise sinking. The water sloshes to one side, shifting weight, then more water goes on to that side, and so it goes on.

My mom and her grandparents was supposed to go on that ship that night. But they didnt. Im glad that they changed their minds cause of that storm

[davidheidemann]

As an Estonian this hurts a bit to watch but cool video man!

1:15 "In 1994, the ship sank on Wednesday the 28th and it was..." 😂

This gave me a chuckle

With how fast the Estonia sank, there was no time to launch the life boats, and even if they had had time the list was too severe to launch them. It sank so fast due to the Free Surface Effect. Since the water was pouring into the car deck, which is a large open space, the water sloshes around and ruins the stability of the boat, the stormy seas made it worse in this case. There aren't watertight compartments or anything to slow down the water on the car deck. This caused the ship to list so severely and quickly that people really only survived if they immediately started making their way to the upper decks after they heard the clanging. The only people that survived were younger, fit people because they had to climb and claw their way to the top to escape. The list was so severe that hallways basically became mine shafts that you had to jump across. If you didn't make the jump, or you lost your grip while climbing, you fell through to the other side of the ship and died. One survivor testified that he was helping a man out of the doorway that he had climbed all the way up. The man made it to the top but lost his grip at the last second, he fell all the way back down and died. Divers who went to the wreck described areas of the ship where this had happened, and there were so many bodies piled up that they gave up trying to count them.

RORO (roll on, roll off) ferries like the Estonia are much more likely to sink quickly like this because of that Free Surface Effect. Check out the Herald of Free Enterprise, it was a RORO ferry where the guy responsible for closing the doors to the car deck was literally asleep in his cabin when the ship was departing, and nobody on the bridge double checked the door either. The ship departed with its bow doors open and capsized in less than 90 seconds, killing 193 people. It's really crazy how quickly these huge ships can be pulled under!

Nice video, thanks!

great vid camodo video games are really taking over the world

Same thing happened to the train car ferry S.S. Milwaukee on lake Michigan in 1929. But instead of a front door it was a rear cover or "metal shield" that acted like a wall to keep water out called a sea gate. The sea gate is a very important part of the main train car deck or "freeboard" as its supposed to keep water our during the insane storms the great lakes has. However, during a massive great lakes storm on October 22 1929, 27 railcars came loose and their momentum caused the sea gate to become critically wounded with metal failure. The rough weather coupled with very stong waves crumpled and pushed the weakened sea gate inwards breaking it which in turn allowed water to get in through the stern (the back) due to the strong storm and high waves. The captain tried to turn back for Milwaukee but never made it and the ship sank with all hands lost including the captain.

I'm waiting for a modern-day ship disaster.



It's always scary for me to see the lights short out like that and then die.

[chefjason]

the ship listed so badly so fast most people never had a chance of escaping the ship let alone surviving the freezing water. there is dive footage from the wreck that is haunting.

I'm from Estonia I'm glad you know this country

According to the survivors there were thugs who would go around and mug people on the deck, during the sinking.
