In my eyes the Captain is a true hero. Imagine yourself keeping calm drifting in heavy waters and in complete darkness without the bow. I travled with Sleipner from Austevoll to Haugesund that same day. Hours later the ship sunk. Salude to those who lost their lives that night.
My friend was on this accident. He saved at least 3 people and got nothing written about it in the local news. But a soldier from ours place, that got panic and almost drown others people was written about like a hero, and got medal and so on! Was on this boat a lot and it was very nice boat. Rip to all dead people.
It's so sad that he got blamed for everything when really, he was forced by the owners to depart despite the terrible weather. He's gone into hiding since and refuses to talk to anyone about it.
It puzzles me that he didn't mention "Mayday, Mayday, Mayday", and didn't emphasize that there is a catastrophic accident. Perhaps it wouldn't have made much difference, but for the ships and boats in the area, as it was completely dark, it might have made them realize they should have come closer - a lot quicker. I run a sailing school myself and have concluded long time ago: NAVIGATION is the thing you need to plan, focus on, get right and never ease up on, especially in Norway and Sweden.
if you listen to M/S Estonias mayday call its clear as day , but in this mayday call it sounds like the captain is talking in a barrel filled with mud inside a shower cabinet
I'll necomance this comment: The reason for the bad quality, is 1. weather. 2. bad recording from somewhere. 3. Austal that build the ship, deviated from blueprint and build the all the VHF equipment and it's circuit in only one of the hull, instead of both hull as required (they would work as backup for each other), that hull that hit land and broke off, was the hull the VHF was build into and was at this time in the video about to die.
The first few seconds of the call sent chills down my spine.
It is heart breaking to hear the desperation in the Captains voice.

That captain is really nervous. Thanks for work on this video I like when I understand what they are saying.

Mayday call
It’s mv

Well, that's very funny. Next time, find a more suitable video to unleash your sub-par comedy on.
It’s because they edit it out pretty good to make it sound good for the Estonia.

the mayday call of MS Estonia was recorded in Silja Symphony
Mayday time :D
It's not funny.
You do realize that 16 people drowned?
16 people died, it's not time to make jokes about this disaster
