Ship last words "todella pahalta näyttää*
*It's really bad now"

[ChristineF]

In the first mayday radio transmissions the crew said they had blackout and 20-30 degrees list. In This simulation it seems the blackout came last.

Scary and sad story of this little ship, it was the pride of Estline and pride of Estonia's shipping after the breakup of the Soviet union. It was also the biggest ship in the Estonia's fleet. But, big waves and a faulty design made it to sink on 28.9.1994. R.I.P to those who died.

[Basparro]

-137 survived
-850 died
It took only 35minutes after accident when Eastonia was full under water.
Its lying 80meters deep in the bottom of the sea.
Now Estonia is "credited" as underwater tomb, so we have now permission to pick it up or visit there.

Of all the sinkings in peace time this might be the most nightmarish in modern history. One moment you’re fine, the seas are rough sure and it’s cold and dark but the ship seems fine the crew seems calm, no problems. Then the ship heaves, then lists.. and lists more.. you’d be telling yourself it’s just your imagination, I mean how can you tell the ship is truly listing in a storm? You’re overreacting.. then the lights flicker. How can this be? No impact no explosions, this has to be your imagination.. then people begin panicking, and it’s cold and dark and the seas are heavy. Hellish.

My grandfather is one of the survivors of this disaster

I like how all of these eyewitnesses are telling you how it sank.

[argojsol]

Actually before it sank it was upside down. But otherwise realistic video. Really great!

[Okejbrrur]

From today there was 25 years since Estonia sank

I have been watching a lot of media about the Estonia as they are re investigating it as of Oct 2020 however Tammes (third mate in radio recordings) reported they were in blackout within first 5 minutes of the mayday not at the end. The ship also capsized to 90o.

Tämä video kertoo selkeästi kuinka Estonia upposi 20 vuotta sitten. Kiitoksia tästä!

[illbebacksoon-xx]

That's so cool :) Iove the ship Estonia, and Iknow how sank this ship.

[David-vxmx]

So sad.Most of the people on board didn't stand a chance.Rest in Peace to the 852.

[Mrpallekuling]

The government in Finland and Estonia have now (2020) decided to investigate what really caused the disaster.
The Swedish DDR 2.0. government says no because they do not want the truth to be public.

[blueharvestproject]

Should be slowed down about 5-10x and capsize fully before the foundering. That's 180°... People were sitting on the keel before she disappeared.

[basargaloran]

According to the memoirs of a russian helicopter pilot, the ferry was sinking with lights - spare generators were working.

[Biggie_Cheese]

wrong, a soviet submarine kamikazed into the front bow, unlocking the bow

[rr.levesque]

I hope, Estline or Viking Lines learned from this accident.

Also, the way the bow broke off was amazing.

The Mayday Call Was Speaking English And Findland and Sweden

[Maring]

I've watched some documentaries on this, and even if the bridge couldn't see that the bow was completely open to the water, it seems weird to me that they didn't have any sort of back-up water-tight compartments between the car deck and the passenger decks. Even weirder is the fact that nobody came to acknowledge the damage that had been done to the ship untill alot of people started dying.

If anyone has any information on how ro-ro ferries are built, please reply to this comment! :-)
