- MS Estonia Mayday Call With Subtitles, Tribute
R.I.P. ESTONIA, 1980-1994
Estonia was sunk in the september 28th, 1994 at 1:50 AM. (GMT +2)
At the time of the accident there were 989 people on the ship, of whom 852 lost their lives.
The wreck rests in about 80 meters of water.
The wreck is located approximately 22 nautical miles (40 kilometres) south-southeast of the island of Utö.
May they all rest in peace.
My grandparents died on this boat. 4 weeks later I was born. RIP Gun och Sölve
pelle elm Aww, that’s terrible! Prayers are with you and your family.
I feel sorry for your grandparents
thats good
Rip, the water chilled them fast. Dont worry, theyre good now. peace mate
Sad🙁😢 RIP🙏
when Estonia speaks, you can hear all kinds of alarms blaring in the background
And people talking
You can also hear groans from the ship changing list
Where was the captain. This is 3rd in command speaking. Went over so fast.
Petrus Invictus actually 4th in command, third officer. The way ship’s authority is passed:
Captain>First Officer>Second Officer>etc.
Yeah, that’s very scary..
The captain of Estonia was a real Captain who went down with the boat. The last thing he did was to honk the horn as the last of the ship was about to go under water, just to alarm/inform the people on deck(read side of the boat) that it was time to jump in to the water, to not get draged down by the stream. He was already under water when he did it.
Or did he survive? He was reported as a survivor the first days and recognized by people who knew him. Even in footage after the ship had sunk people recognized him..
@@fragman4521 Arvo Andresson was the captain, look it up. He died on the ship.
@@fragman4521 in the final stages of the accident, third mate Andres Tammes and first mate Tormi Ainsalu were seen leaving the command bridge. Arvo Andresson, chief mate Juha Härma and fourth mate Kaimar Kikas remained on the bridge and died.
@@Bawamba The shipping company declared the commander as rescued and the hospital declared 7-8 crew members as rescued, but all of these were later reported as missing instead. Very strange. One of the women rescued apparently used her nickname which nobody else shouldn't have known about. Also the same woman or her sister who also was supposed to have been rescued from the start called home one year later, but the call got disconnected..
@@fragman4521 Well, fyi what you read on flashback or reddit aint always true. Good to have in the back of the head for next time you post comments.
"it's looking really bad right now" just sounds ghastly.
Makes me cry when I hear this. Must've been terrible, just terrible.
Especially considering that the ship was at least at a 30 degree angle at that point
The guy on the radio underestimated the list quite a lot, it was much more than 30+ at that point. RIP Estonia and everyone who perished that morning.
@@TheSuspectOnFoot It was nearly 90° when they said that
Apparently the ship ended up capsizing. They could've done a 180 for what anyone knew.
The thing that hits me the most is that the person in command of the radio on the ms estonia still had the kindness to say good morning to the silja europa when he know they were going to sink in minutes
That was Andres Tammes, the third officer. And yes, I find Tammes' communication to be remarkably calm given the situation they were in.
N Gauge England -Synthematix- You are a dumb ass. Have a nice life!
@@Synthematix You are so funny, has anyone ever told you that? How funny you are? With your funny jokes, like "they were all probably smoking weed."
You should be in comedy. Because you're a joke.
@@Synthematix Sure, it was over 25 years ago now but ffs. Ppl lost their relatives and family. You don't just make jokes like that.
so far i know they might have not completely realized that it was as bad as it was because they couldnt see the front of the ship from the bridge so they didnt realize they had a massive hole in the front
I travelled on MS Estonia three times, last time I forgot to return my cabin key,so when I got back to my student dorm at the time I just put the key away.
Then a year later I realized what I had lying in my drawer.
To this day, I still have that key on the same bunch as all my other keys, ocasionally looking at it. Cabin 1029 it says.
Creepy one might say, but it makes certain things in life a bit more palpable to me.
That's really interesting. Thank you for sharing
A piece of dark side history there with you.
You should turn it in to a museum or something if you have the chance.

These guys organized a rescue and arrived at the scene in less than 20 minutes. The ambulance car in my town would need longer...
Several hours cut in to 20 min
The “ambulance car” eh?
@@frojd1990 First Mayday call was at 01:22 and Mariella reached the scene at 02:12 so 50 minutes.
Props to the Baltic Sea SAR and the Swedish Army
@@BreadLoafSFM and my uncle the pederast
What professionalism on the radio, no panic, just the desire to help.
Lucky the Mariella was 9 miles away and running hard that direction. Those were cold temps. 9 miles must have seemed like forever while responding.
They’re talking in swedish, english and finnish, and they all understand each other. Wow.. Rip to the ones who lost their lives :(
Jooo merivalvojien tolppaan ei ees viestit kuulunu
In finland they learn swedish and English by standard, and Estonian is very close to finnish.
I would also like to add that there are still swedish speaking parts of Estonia to this day
@@brinken3034 Well... After WWII not many stayed. Since 1991 maybe a few but as a Swede I'd say that time is over. Saaremaa/Ösel is not Swedish anymore.
Also estonia
its extremely heartbreaking to realize that during this video the radiator of ms estonia drowned, just minutes after after he says 'the situation is looking really bad here'
Dammm that was sad
Given what happened there’s actually quite a bit of conspiracy theories. Mainly that the ship was carrying weapons (Sweden isn’t exactly known to deal with the best people when it comes to selling arms). The government admitted that it used to carry weapons but it didn’t this time. All of that has been put down hard by official investigation though and the site was declared a grave at sea. So none of the bodies were recovered instead covered up in cement.
@@hassetjifrebro8222 what do you mean by covered in cement
Maximilian Lagerholm actually the cementing was stopped quite quickly -
But it’s still very... uncomfortable that smith tak b.v. Was involved - being a company that is specialized in disarming and getting back radioactive stuff from water and seas. And then those trucks that entered the ship right before departure. And then the most cruel part - the story of Kalev vatras“ - oh man I’m getting goosebumps just from thinking a out it o_o
Kuroneko Neko He meant concrete. Too many finnish people thinks concrete is cement in english.
"Hyvää huomenta"
"Voisitko sä tulla apuun"

Det var precis så vi började varje larmsamtal på radio till ryttmästaren när jag gjorde lumpen:
"- Godmorgon fröken fänrik! Nånting har hänt. Eeh, vet du var jag är nånstans?
- Utom skotthåll för mig, det är enda anledningen till att du ännu lever!"
Ei ne tienneet tuossa vaiheessa, sehän se vasta kammottavaa onkin. Onhan se varmasti ollut pelottavaa kaikille kun laiva kallistuu ja kaikki hälyttimet huutaa, mutta kukaan komentosillalla ei tiennyt että ne on uppoamassa ennen kuin tuon viimeisen soiton jälkeen. Se on mun mielestä yksi pahimmista jutuista koko tuossa onnettomuudessa. Onhan siellä nyt varmasti tajuttu että on tosi vakava tilanne, mutta jos ne olis tienneet tuon maydayn aikaan siitä niin kyllä ne olisivat maininneet. Joku kymmenen minsaa vikasta maydaysta ja laiva oli jo tukevasti meren pohjassa, suurin osa mukana olleista ihmisistä hukkuneina.

Upposko se laiva siis just ennen sitä
@@kalletaskinen8548 siis toi pan pan on kai sellane yleinen hätätiedoitus kaikille radioille
@@onzpu juu
At least one finnish man fought his way from deck 0, underneath the car decks, and survived. He was in his cabin and sleeping badly. The ship had been rolling from side to side, but then suddenly, it didn't correct the list anymore and then he realised something was wrong. He quickly got up and started his journey one deck at the time. I don't know if anyone else survived from the lowest deck, but it must have been a hell of a fight.
Have you read the article of the survivors accounts? One person mentioned the doors in the corridor to the rooms fell open, if you fell into one of the open rooms while climbing out, you were dead. So terrifying.
Ofc the man was a finn
I was six years old when she sank. I remember saying goodbye to my neighbour the day before she sank. And I remember never seeing my neighbour again. It was my first memory and feeling of death in my life.
Zyphera Woah really sad
😢😢
Zyphera blame the Swedish military
Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss, I lost someone on there too.. My dearest brother. 😢
lol what?
Blame the people that constructed the boat if anything.
The visor got struck with a hard wave and opened it self, meaning that water from the ocean filled the floors with parked cars.
How is that Swedish military fault?
Swedish, Finnish and the other boats with different nationalities tried to save as many as they could with the coast guard of Finland and Sweden.
Everyone on the bridge of Estonia died. Including the guy you hear in this recording.
I didn't want to thumb up because it is sad, but it's informative and I was wondering about that. I wonder how his experience was. The distress in his voice is obvious; he knows better than anyone what is about to happen, and the ramifications.
Everything start sliding at 30 degrees list/angle. His last messages were (assumedly) way past that point...
And the "it looks bad" is so eerie.
Not everyone.
@@SebHaarfagre Probably, Tammes (who was the second voice heard from Estonia) couldn't believe what was happening. He's believed to have underestimated the list, probably because his brain couldn't comprehend what was happening - that is, the shop was sinking fast and that they had no chance of stopping it.
SebSk Eerie indeed, it gave me chills. The tone of his voice, and the alarms blaring in the background is simply horrifying. I liked the video, because it is a piece of history, but i completely understand your reasoning.
He stayed on the ship as it sank like guy on the titanic
I cant imagine how scary it was. Being in pitch-black while the ship is fastly going underwater. I cannot even imagine this in my wordt nightmares. I am sorry for all the people who lost their close ones and for those who lived through this disaster.
I was on the Silja Europa at that time and when we got there it was pretty much under water

I have watched this many times, and I cry every time. My cousin was on board and survived. There is a photograph of him lying on a life raft, only dressed in his underwear and a life jacket. He will never travel on a ship again.
Yeah I wouldn’t either. No way in hell
Is his name Carl?
@@arminratsepp8799 Yes
wait wasnt he the man in the documentary? cause i swear ive seen that picture before
@@flyingbarrel1949 I was just watching him in the documentary, he was the one who saw the alleged submarine beside the Estonia right before it capsized I think
A bit different way of working than Costa Concordia. This is more professional and captains aren't cowards.
Yeah, I saw the radio traffic video when the captain was waiting for a taxi, and coast guard tried to order him back on the ship. What a fucking failure of a human being.
@@Alex-qu3uu Why would taking an irresponsible risk make him a coward? An idiot, yes, but certainly not a coward. And while it may have contributed, it wasn't the Captain's fault alone. There were design flaws in the ship, and also some damage and rust to the locks and hinges of the bow visor, which caused the sinking by breaking off in the stormy sea.
@@Alex-qu3uu How can it be the captains fault if the ship was constructed with a design flaw? He is a captain not an enginer
@@Alex-qu3uu NO Bow Visor should break off a Ship, no matter how "fast" the Ship was travelling. Captain could not prevent that from happening. He is blameless.
@@user-vb2ur5us6i Well spoken.
All these seamen doing their duty with relaying emergency radio traffic on this highly trafficed ferry line makes me feel such awe. They all sound so cold and ready for what is happening, eventhough they had no idea of what was going on. You can tell some of the men have been just woken up. As far as I can tell, a few of them switch between Swedish, Finnish, Estonian and maybe even English without mistakes. They manage to relay position in one go, and are so quick in relaying new information (such as the position, the red flare, the visual contact etc.)
None of them hesitate for even a second in this awful weather, in vessels FULL of other civilians to look after. Im in awe of the works of ALL the crews.
It was an absolute shit situation in all ways, with a shitty outcome no one could control, though I am 100% sure the crews and captains mustered all their experience and courage to try to turn the situation around and do as much as possible.
As a Swede I'm proud to have Finnish and Estonian neighbours.
This comment made me emotional. I think you are 100% correct on the matter. As Finnish person who has lived in Sweden, now in Finland, I too am proud of our neighboring countries.
Very kind words.
vi älskar er okså (except in icehockey championships)
I think the radio transmission has been edited. There is no way that they can arrive on the site in less than 10 minutes.
Ohh yes, There are several cuts! The time between Estonia's first mayday and the arrival of Mariella is about 50 minutes. The mayday went out at 01:22 circa- Mariella arrived about 02:12
Kiitos, käre bror.
When it comes to icehockey there is no mercy. Unless we (a highly unlikely scenario, I know) we're already out. Then Finland is my team of choice.
The teamwork all the ships applied is unbelievable. Although there were a lot of deaths, they were still able rescue many people because they all acted fast and professionally. Radio commander of Silja Europa should get an reward for being so good at giving directions and information.
R.I.P all the people who died on M/S Estonia.
Alltho the rescue was really slow because of the bad weather. Some people freeze to death inside those life boats because they waited hours for the rescue. These big boats were afraid to go too near by the people on water or lifeboats so that waves don't throw them too hard toward the boats or under, so many people drowned or died to hypothermia instead. Could more risks have been taken...that boats would have tried to lift people from the sea into the boats too ? to that there is many opinnions.
Larus about 42& of other radio stations were close in Finland and 60 miles near Estonia
@@susanna8612 the captains had a valid point. If a wave throws you into a ship, your body will likely be damaged, which makes you even harder to save. More helicopters would've been excellent. Three helicopters responding is already quite a response, but as many as they could get there within 3 hours would've saved even more people. The ships on scene saved saved 34 people combined, and helicopters saved 104. Each additional helicopter could've saved 20-30 people.

Oh no😔😥
these guys remained calm and worked well together. goodjob.
DanTheMemeMan thats why people died
mostafa alb
No, that's why people survived.
Most passengers did not even make it out of the sinking ship, since it was flipped to the side. The corridors leading on deck were now deep, vertical shafts, the staircases were lying horizonally.
Only fit people, who managed to climb out of there within a few minutes had a chance. That is why most survivors were sporty young men. None of the children or elder people on board survived, and hardly any women.
They just went down with the ship, which sank very rapidly. Nobody could have saved them.
Well, if the frigging captain had called for Mayday earlier before sh*t escalated, maybe they would have a chance, but since he is probably is dead, I will refrain from calling him a second-degree murderer.
Well... They did travel with higher speed than usual, but not much faster than the other ferries. But, from the bridge they did not have visual contact with the bow visor and couldn't see the damage. A crewman was sent to investigate and a monitor showed splashes of water, but was facing 90 degress away from the bow and didn't show the actual opening. By that time it was already too late. The two lists happened very fast and I have to say that there was nothing that could've been done in time. Mariella was an hour away when the mayday went out, at most they would've saved 10 minutes. 10 minutes that would'nt have changed anything.
goodjob? They died
I'm very impressed how the captain of the Europa managed the whole situation. The calm way and good coordination probably saved many lifes that day.
I do not know where they breed these kind of
Captain. Finns are supposed to be calm and
cool in facing disaster, but his low voice and
calmness gives hope to the salvation project.
True professionals.
Congrats to europa cap
Take it cool, breath, slow down, take contact, follow it through, take charge, give everyone their jobs. Keep in contact and ready to show were help is needed, for the helicopters,
if they can come. I went to Finnish captain school, never on those.
Well he wasn't on a sinking ship in the middle of dark rough seas, so he had no reason not to be calm.
@@borisjohnson2606 people still get easily stressed out in situations like this, when the shit hits the fan. That's why e.g. air traffic controllers need such an intensive training. People start to panic if they are in charge and do stupid things.
Voices:
Second mate Tormi Ainsalu (Estonia, first voice)
Third mate Andres Tammes (Estonia, last voice from Estonia). Ainsalu is missing, Tammes was killed but the body was found. Some eyewitnesses have said both were identified after emergency calls on deck lowering life rafts.
Captain Esa Mäkelä (Silja Europa), on-scene commander.
Mate Teijo Seppelin (Silja Europa), voice on the radio.
M/S Isabella (Captain ?), rescued 17 passengers by its own actions.
M/S Mariella (Captain Jan-Tore Törnroos), rescued 15 passengers by its own actions, took 21 from helicopters.
M/S Silja Symphony (Captain Hans Modig) took 21 passengers from helicopters.
Finnish professional rescue swimmer Juho Ala-Lahti (OH-HVG) saved 21 passengers from the sea, OH-HVG all in all 44 passengers. OH-HVD rescued 7. OH-HVG was able to land on the deck of the ship in a storm. Most of the helicopters had to take the victims directly to the mainland.
Swedish conscripts rescued all in all 39 passengers with 13 helicopters (Q97 alone took 15). Many rescue swimmers were injured by lifting hooks or hitting lifeboats. Horrible conditions.
My dad was working on a small ferry when this happened in 1994.
He was listening on channel 16 the whole way through. And realized how bad it really was.
My dad is better sailor than ur dad. He can also kick ur dads ass.
I would just like to say that in addition to the obvious tragedy of the sinking of the M/S Estonia, this video also displays some of the best that the world of international passenger shipping has to offer. Every vessel in the vicinity of the Estonia behaved in an extremely professional manner and did their level best to respond to the emergency in the best manner that they could. Hats off to them all.
That's because they're Scandinavians.

True and false...they shouldve spoken in english only so other ships coulda helped too,thats why u r obliged to learn flawless english b4 u get ur sailors certificate
You have to wonder, during all of this there was probably people alive in the ship as it was under water in air pockets. What an absolutely horrible way to die.
Atamv at some point the water and the pressure would have killed them so yeah I agree
Good point!
Atamv imagine it like all parts of your head hurting a lot especially the insides of your ears
Would probably just add to the horrible terror your mind is experiencing. Probably pitch dark, metal noices from the hull echoing trough the ship in a haunting way. Sounds of flowing, cold water.
Fuck.
Atamv the military and government made them sink
17:19 and forward, when all the ships prepare their helicopter decks is such a powerful moment. Everyone coming together to help
I always feel so sad about this knowing the captain drowned shortly after this recording. You can hear the desperation in his voice. The last thing he did before she sank was honking the horn regarding survivors as a last abondon ship/good bye. Mad respect for that captain and thier crew and im so sorry his happened.
That wasn't the captain. The guy on the radio was Third in Command. The captain survived for whatever reason and was seen in Sweden shortly after (there is even a video on UA-cam). It is believed that the captain had known what was going to happen.

Very professional and disciplined, my deep respect to those who tried saving as many souls as possible while staying calm and polite on radio here.
P. Ricard Absolutely! I agree that the helping ships stayed highly professional and disciplined given the circumstances. However the mayday call from estonia was extremely unprofessional and given in a state of panic, all the other ships that responded to the mayday call had huge difficulties to find out what is going on because of the extremely unprofessional mayday call. Official investigation group criticised harshly on the mayday call and incompetent estonian crew .
Henry 203900 i mean, everyone would panic in such situations, imagine that you’re on a ship and it’s going to sink.
@@henrybaleno The ships sinking, the hulls fucked and thousands of liters of water is pouring in, in minutes, of course, they should have stayed calm, but they're human, of course they'll panic.
Jete-Miia Piiriste Of course you would panic but you have to stay absolutely calm when giving a mayday call so the other ships can clearly understand the situation and receive right information about the emergency. Accident investigation critized harshly on the estonia crew´s incompetence and professionalism and i agree fully with them. But yes they are humans and they will panic.
The unholy child of negativity Of course that is very life threatning situation when water is coming in and the ship is sinking but if your a competent and professional enough to drive a cruise ship then you should also know how to make and absolutely calm and official mayday call even when water is on the bridge, clearly estonia didn´t give a highly professional and competent mayday call given the circumstances and delayed the rescue operation by several minutes. Investigation group critized harshly on the estonian crew on their incompetence and unprofessionalism and i fully agree with them.
Terrible to hear all the alarms in the background of Estonia´s broadcast.
Didn't actually think about it until I saw this comment. That just upped the creepiness factor by a ton. You can even hear the furniture falling at 3:39.

@@SebHaarfagre that's right
@@TheWolfwiththeDragon Thats actually even worse. Its a window breaking and letting water in
As a former SAR pilot I must say I am extremely impressed by the professional attitude of all the ships involved. I have seldom heard it any better than this. Europa assumed On Scene Commander duties almost immediately and handled it perfectly. They thought of every little detail, thus offering the maximum assistance they could, thereby saving the maximum amount of people possible.
Hats off to them.
I dont wear hats
but most of them lost their lives.....
@@SimsMoyalemphasis on saving the maximum amount of people possible
Actually they saved practically no one. Only helicopters were able to save people because of the weather and hours later. No one survived in water. And many died on life boats because they were full of water and it took hours to save anyone.
@@MultiJejje they did indeed not save a lot of people because the ship went down so fast, the water was cold and not a lot of people were able to get out of the shp. However, they worked perfectly together and thus create the optimum situation for a rescue. Sadly enough it was not to be, but that was no fault of theirs.
The most chilling, scary and sad recording I've ever listened.
Me to
Even though it was a horrible tragedy, listening to this isn't scary in my opinion because of how calmly and professionally these guys take it.
Goddamit Europa's radio operator was doing great job
He was doing an amazing job. Sounded very much in control, definitely helps to have someone like that.
I'm Finnish. When I was a kid and a teenager (I was ten when this disaster happened) we used to go on a cruise with Viking Line or Silja Line every other year or so. After this incident my father refused any other ship than Silja Europa. Silja's boats are bigger, newer and made with better quality he stated. Once I remember there was an announcement and it was the captain speaking. He said something about a delay in the schedule. I noticed my father glancing out the windows and it was a beautiful summer day. My stepmother asked him why he got so tense and he answered that it's nothing, that we are in good hands. A little later my father asked a crew member about it and the reason to the delay was apparently a small boat that was in the way and we couldn't pass it safely.
My father is a very calm kind of person and he was in a high position at his workplace so he has quite a lot of people looking up to him. I have not forgotten his comment about us being in good hands the second he recognised the captain's voice. It sure is calming, even in this situation.
There's no such thing as a radio operator anymore. It was the ships officer, the one who's in charge of navigating the ship. The captain is the guy with the deeper voice.
@@TheKeisari I guess he meant the first officer to respond to Estonia's mayday call.
I think this recording was made on Europa.
Thanks internet for telling me about another tragedy I didn't know about at 4 in the morning
Just stop. Internet is knowledge for a few, entertainment for the plebs. Which one are you? Never apologize for learning something new you didn't know before.
How didnt you know about this? It was kind of a big deal and still is since many people died due to one mistake that shouldn't have been made.. that makes it even more sad.. but hey! It's always great to learn new things, even if it's these things. 😁✌🏼
@@JennaOfficiaal There are incidents where even more People died which you dont know about
Bonnies Playground what mistake? That ship had a huge whole on its side. Its was sunk on purpose. It was said that the captain died but he was clearly seen on the news when survivors was taken back to land. It was some bull shot cover up and intended killing of people
@@JennaOfficiaal i found out about this from the video with the transcription of titanic's distress messages. ive never heard about that ship, i was born two years later and in my country (poland) no one talked about it on the news after I was born (at least not that i remember). so yeah. there are even more tragedies than you think, that people still dont know about, but its good that were finding out about them, because now we can pay respects learn more about the victims and the tragedy itself.
The "they are in the sea" gave me chills
timestamp?
@@jasmin-po8mi 12:10 around there and a few seconds forward, its chillin when they see the gravity of the situation
One thing that was interesting to me to see, is how Silja Europa's radio operator went from being sleepy and bored, to some disbelief when he heard the Mayday call, and instantly getting worried and asking Estonia again, and then going all out to alert everyone, making sure the land knows of the situation. Huge props to him.
A friend of mine's grandmother was supposed to go on the Estonia this night with a friend of her. The friend, however, got sick the day before and insisted on my friend's grandmother going. She decided not to because she thought it would be pointless to be alone on the journey. She and her friend will forever be thankful of that illness.
It was all ment to go that way :)
I think we have the same friend
I love travelling alone, I would die there.
my mom saw the last departure due to the fact that she had arrived moments before
My grandfathers sister had a same story... She was supoosed to be on that ship but she got ill.
Sooo much cred to the finnish radio person that had to control the situation with all the ships!

The captain of Estonia. What a hero. They had a blackout. Somehow as the last thing he did he manged to give his coordinates. Then that it started to "looking really bad". By the tremble of his voice, he must have known that he himself wouldn't make it. But he made sure to send his coordinates. Relaying what some other hero yelled at him. On top of that 25 m/s wind and waves so high that Mariella and Europa saw it best not to deploy any boats.

@@CuntLucifer I think so too.
I really have to pay respect to the captains. Especially Europa one. He is so easily taking the charge. And the communication is smooth as well.
I might be mistaken but I think this recording was made on Silja Europa. It sounds like he is speaking on multiple channels. That's probably why Silja Europa is in every conversation, with that clear sound. The others might speaking on different channels as well but that won't be recorded if it's recorded on Silja Europa. All tho Silja Europa did end up taking command of the whole rescue operation.
I’d say the Estonia’s captain was the one who deserves the most respect. Everything was falling into shambles around him and he kept his calm even though this would be his end.
Puhka rahus.
@@lendavkanguru1803 i don't think the one sending the distress message was Estonia's captain. I believe it was a second officer.
@@lendavkanguru1803 nevertheless not abandoning the ship and it's passengers at the first sign of trouble is a very respectable thing. The guy sending the mayday was a hero, think about the shock he must've been in.
Majin Buu true. Sorry i was misinformed!
It's heartbraking noticing how their voices shatter when they realise how bad the situation is. For the captain of Europa at "They're in the water!". And for the captain of Mariella when he said he had to shut down the propellers. There is no boat, no Estonia...
If you reading this have the opportunity to visit Tallinn in Estonia, go see the memorial just in the harbour. It shows the trip the boat was supposed to go as a long line that breaks all of sudden. Every single name is written down.
I went there, it was really sad and heartbreaking to see that
there is also a memorial in my hometown of Norrköping Sweden, I believe over 100 elderly that was on an organized cruise perished. alot of people of my age lost their grandparents this night, we were 7 years old
Also in Stockholm at Djurgården. I visited Tallinn with a friend as my first trip abroad without parents in my late teens. Beautiful city. We went by the memorial as well. So tragic..
Estonia looks like airbus in France

No, he's from Åland. He's name is Jan-Tore Thörnroos. Being from Åland though, his first language is Swedish. Esa Mäkele, the skipper on Silja Europe is Finnish though.
Åland is part of Finland, so he is Finnish, no matter what you're TRYING to say.
I got chills the whole time I was listening to this. This must be the most horrible and sad thing I've ever listened to. You can hear despair and fear in The Voice of the Estonia crew. May all who perished in the disaster of Estonia rest in peace. I hope investigators find out what really caused the sinking so people can have peace of mind.
That wassaid very good
Silja Europa's captain should be considered as a hero and an example of a good captain. Calm, strong and intelligent, and independently thinking enough to spread important details immediatly to all ships in that area. Even the other captains were asking him for advice for what to do. Take notes if you're studying to become a captain.
Näinhän se on... kokemus tulee iän myötä. Johtajuus luonnostaan. Tässä tapauksessa molemmat. Ihmishenkiä pelastui hänen ansiosta.
I know I wasn't born for this and will never be able to withhold the stress. I'd just black tf out
Not to short sell how he performed, all you said is true, however the other captains were asking him what to do because he was assigned the role of coordinating the search and rescue between the other vessels and the coast guard and sea rescue authorities, not because they were oblivious.
@@jhosioja yeeeeh, usually in these type of things the one who is put in charge is the one who answers the mayday call first as they have the most information from all the rest. But still he did an amazing job considering he had slept like 2 to 3 hours and had just been woken up.

Keep in the mind that the captains of Mariella and Europa have stated in interviews, made by the Joint Accident Investigation Commission (JAIC) that they couldn't wrap their heads around that Estonia had actually sunk when they arrived at the scene. They thought they would find Estonia with a really bad list, not totally under water.
You can hear the disbelief in Esa Mäkele's (the captain of Silja Europa) voice when he asks Jan-Tore Thörnroos (the captain of Mariella) if he can see Estonia, between 14:10 and 15:20.

Urmo Vaher what is your problem
KingTreeFish, reality. You should try it sometime.
The mechanics in the engine room of the estonia are madlalds they stayed in the ship keeping power until the ship was already in a 90 degree angle to the right and then escaped trough the funnel on the last second and survived like holy shit.
They saved a lot of lives by doing that.
If the lights go out and the people have to figure out how to get out in complete darkness, the survival chances for anyone still inside the ship plummets.
@@DruidEnjoyer almost everyone died, the lights really didn't help much
@@hyljix And even more of the "almost everyone" would have died without them.
@@DruidEnjoyer the list was already incredibly bad before any lights could have gone off that people couldn't climb up the stairs. If you didn't immediately leave you had no hope after only a few minutes. So if the lights went off earlier it would have no effect, everyone was already trapped
I do think the mechanics were amazing, vary brave, and helped keep the power on so that other ships could get the Estonia’s coordinates, many people has already died from being rocked back and forth. The hallways of the ship became elevator shafts and many people died from just falling trying to get to the stairs. Many people in that ship just gave up on survival and sat in a corner hugging their children, waiting for death. 😔
3:40 you can actually hear a bridge window giving in and the sea flowing into the bridge. "Looks really bad now." they were in such state of shock but handled the situation as they could. Also the radio contact with Estonia breaks after that.

One of the human experiences that I find touching is the response of mariners during a crisis or catastrophe. They immediately stop, identify how they can help, and jump in to save lives. Within 10 minutes several ships responded, determined position, and began their trip to the Estonia. It’s a tragedy for those who lost their lives, but because of these actions, over 100 people were saved.
They are required by international law to stop whatever they are doing and immediately help someone that sent a mayday call, which is why false alarms have huuuuge consequences.
When Estonia calls in, if you listen closely, you can hear the alarms go off in the background.
And the first mayday you can hear the ship creaking in the background.

Outstanding professionalism. My dad's cousin's wife went down with the ship. May she rest in peace.
Listen very closely at 3:40,. and you can hear a whoosh along with an indistinct clattering right before the transmission ends. What most likely transpired was that the list had by then developed to plus 70 degrees, and the windows at the far end of the starboard side shattered by the waves. The swhoosh is the water entering the bridge and the clattering is from the loose objects accumulated at the bridge's starboard being displaced.

they couldnt jump out and swim?
@@randomrazr they had duties to fulfill. Had they abandoned the bridge when they had the chance, they would've never given Estonia's coordinates and everyone would've drowned and froze. Also, when the water pressure was enough to break the bridge's windows, they only had seconds to react before the entire bridge went below the waterline.
Andres Tammes (third officer in MS Estonia) last transmission was: "It was clear what you said" to Silja Europa

I'd like to apologize in advance for the poor story-telling. It's never been a strength of mine.

I liked him a lot. Whenever we had lunch at the same time we often sat together and spoke. He is a very funny and nice guy. He was the kind of person who doesn't take anything in life for granted.
Not far before graduating from his school, I learnt that he is one of the few survivors of Estonia. I never had the balls to personally ask him about this, but a mutual friend of ours told me a lot about it. Hearing this made me think of him. I hope he's doing great.

I was a passenger on MS Mariella that night. It was unpleasant ride even before we heard what is going on, i was afraid and still i am used to travel with ships and work on them. All the watertight emergency doors were shut and could be opened only by pressing this pneumatic release button. All restaurants and shops were closed and we could hear pallets falling filled with glass botles that got smashed and the entire ship smelled alcohol because of that. It was morbid view from my cabin window when day broke and we could see all the people and liferafts floating around us.
Must be quite of an astonishing experience to challenge a storm regardless of circumstances and going towards a vessel in emergency and putting your own life/lives of passengers at risk at the same time. Sounds like a true oath of musketeers.
Can you imagine the descisionmaking of the captains of Mariella and Europa? I know for a fact that Mariella's captain hade to be called awake, and he arrived on the bridge barefeet. The radio operator on Europa actually says that he just woke the skipper, so Esa was probably sleeping to.
They both get the mayday and just have minutes to decide what to do with their vessels. At this point they had no idea what had happened to Estonia. Im amazed by the courage of these crews.
Just imagine how horrible it is to look out seeing people in the stromy waters and you know you cannot deploy crew in life boats to save anyone because of the weather. Only thing you can do is to throw rafts and stuff in the water in the hopes that some of the people will be able to save themselves and some others and then wait for the helicopters that are still about half an hour away. And you have even no idea yet that majority simply went down with the ship.
I've always been ok with stormy weather on passenger ships, though no 'seaman' by any means. And would had survived Estonia also.
"And would had survived Estonia also."
Yeah, sure. I heard survivors tell about a lone guy on a raft just taken by the wind and blowing away in the dark. In a situation like that it's not much you can do, and if you're in the water too long it doesn't matter how tough you think you are because you're gonna freeze to death. Surviving situations like these you need to be driven, but you also need some luck.

@The unholy child of negativity Some Swedish survivors said it was some Estonians doing that. Apparently some people (some men obviously, to sound like a bitter feminist) were taking life vests from other people on deck, allegedly, and I know some Estonians would probably blame Russians. I don't know how many Russians were really onboard that ship though. But that's not uncommon, the blame game. Truth is there are bad people of all nationalities. Estonians had it rougher in general than Swedes though because of the Soviet Union and were probably better prepared (mentally) for a giant fuck up.

Just listen how everyone's tone changes once it becomes clear someone sunk...
The crew of Silja europa deserve all respect in the world!!!
852 lives were lost, 138 were rescued alive, one of whom died later in hospital. It was the second-deadliest peacetime sinking of a European ship, after the RMS Titanic. The ships around and the rescue helicopters did what they can, but the weather, winds and the high waves were just too much....I remember the news, and the videos showing people struggling to stay alive amid the unforgiving stormy waves, which were more than four storey building high - it was so heartbreaking...
It is indeed a weird-sounding fact, that statistically it was more likely to survive the sinking of Titanic than the sinking of Estonia. Not to take anything away from Titanic tragedy. May both Titanic and Estonia victims rest in peace.
The MV Doña Paz is the single worse peace time Maritime accident, Titanic is the 3rd worst in peace time

Hats off to Europa and Mariella crews, Greetings from Latvia.
I think they simply couldn't believe that things could be so bad.
It's one thing that they're tired because it's at night and second thing that the way Finns speak is kinda non energic but third they simply couldn't believe the situation was so bad. They thought they would find Estonia without power floating slightly tilted. The captains couldn't believe their radar when the boat disappeared.

Everyone wanted to help, everyone wanted to see that ship in the distance, but they didn't. It absolutely breaks my heart, and I've never stepped foot on any ship other than a 18 ft boat and a decommissioned warship.. Absolutely heartbreaking.
They tried to save women and rest of rhe men too, not only one man
My god, after all these years, this is still so chilling. May all the victims rest in peace forever.
