I was on another viking line vessel during a storm in the baltic sea 1980. It was impossible to move around and the best thing was to stay in the cabin. I still remember how water flooded the stairways mixed with human throw ups. They had sealed whit firedoors but still enormous amount of water poured in. Later on i saw that this ferry had the same bow construction as Estonia and that was kind of chilling. But that's life. Luck and unluck. It's like flipping a coin sometimes. We never forget the souls lost on Estonia.
@@xernes.gamefz It didn't sank, of course not. What I'm trying to say it was easy to get that feeling of sinking when so much water poured in and people were sick.
I was on her sistership Diana II/Mare Baltica two years after Estonia (-96) I was only a little girl and I was terrified that Mare Baltica also would sink. I had totally panic there but after a while we met a woman from the crew that showed me around and calmed me down, so I felt so much better. Her name was Epp, so Epp if you are reading this.. Thank you! 💖
Not that unreasonable fear. Since in reality Diana II had the exact same bow visor failure. Only it was in 1993 (so even before Estonia) and in it's case it was partial one. one sides lock managed to held on while bending, while other side completely failed same as in Estonia. Thus leading only the visor cracking open little bit instead of completely ripping open and taking the bow car ramp with it. Thus it only leaked, instead of pouring the whole sea in the car deck. The ship limped to port, was inspected and ordered to be repaired. However as I understand by 1996, you in the end would have been safe. As I remember after Estonia, Diana II and other sister/ similar design ships had their bow visors permanently welded shut to be permanent part of bow hull in retrofit at dry dock, since as was revealed by MULTIPLE visor failures, the design was defective and unsafe. Thus the retro fit and the ferries continued operation by using only their rear ramp.
852 innocent people died in an incident that raises so very many questions, which 3 governments have gone to great lengths to suppress. The wreck could have been raised for close inspection as was Sewol. In the immediate aftermath of the sinking, commercial dive teams were contracted yet never tasked with recovery of the bodies of the victims, which, according to the divers involved, would have been a relatively easy thing to do (because the bodies were still in a good condition at that time). Never before (since Lockerbie) has so much official effort been put into denying the families of the victims the truth of why their beloved family members died that night!
so true! Rockwater divers said it was more traumatising for them to be leaving victims there instead of taking them up, they described that on their dive to Estonia in 1994 they could have recover more than 100 victims and in their opinion Estonia was salvageable at the time - I personally believe she still is! Her wreck would provide answers, thank God for people like Henrik Evertsson for making documentary and dive that has proven there is indeed huge hole and all survivors who kindly shred their terrifying story 💔 I do believe true will come out, justice will be served and most importantly Families of those who lost their life's will finally receive some sort of comfort after years of being treated in such an disgraceful way. RIP ESTONIA - your story will never be forgotten 💔🖤
So many questions are still unanswered. The customs officals from Sweden claiming Russian military tech was on board at previous sailings, and they were not to be searched, the 'explosion' sound, and the fact that the Estonia lay in shallow depths were the bodies could have been recovered, but were not, and instead, hastily covered in concrete to prevent and further investigation. Not to be a 'conspiracy theorist', but somethings here do not add up properly.
@Kopsu If that is true, that answers only one question. Why were the bodies not recovered, and why was a proper investigation not made? It is in shallow waters and both could have occured. I am no 'conspiracy' person. I only ask obvious questions.
To add to what Kopsu already said, there were some ideas about covering the wreckage with either concrete or sand, but notihing came of it. The Swedish government (or governments since there was an election and "change of guards" that very Autumn) were quite indecisive about what to do, and changed their minds several times. That may be seen as incompetent, but it has nothing in common with what a real cover up or conspiracy most likely would look like. I haven't listened much to the current argument going on about so called new findings, but what little I have heard is not a bit convincing; it would require to re-write so many other things that are clearly accessible, such as other ships logs, observations from both survivors and rescuers at the scene etc. As for Jutta Rabe, I'm not even going to comment on any of her research and that film she made, it's just stuff on the kind of level Alex Jones would never touch for lacking in credibility.
I remember hearing about the disaster on TV. At that time, I often sailed from Denmark to England, through heavy storms and seas and I thought that I might be the next one, lying on the bottom of the North Sea. Those poor souls.
É muito triste saber que tantas almas perderam a vida e que não tiveram a mínima chance de salvar-se Pois foi tudo tão rápido... eu consigo imaginar o horror o desespero e a aflição de todas estas pessoas, é algo que nos comove demasiado.
The cause of her sinking wasn't the visor, the car ramp was closed(they've been to the ship several times in the past year, and the car ramp and other things were discovered). The actual cause was several large gashes on the starboard side of the ship. Many survivors recall water flowing in to the cabins under the car deck, which is impossible under normal circumstances(usually that part of the ship is water tight, which makes the ship flip and float upside down in case of sinking).
With all the facts known today it is reasonable to presume the ship was blown up. Because it was carrying undeclared military cargo (eyewitnesses, declassified documents), swedish&estonian governments quickly declared the site “sacred” and restricted zone
I 100% believe that she was blown up, there's enough evidence to prove it. I made this video according on the final report of Sweden, Finland and Estonia. I just don't want to receive any hate here, but just as I said I really believe she was blown up.
The age of when computers and sensors replaced human eyes. Had they not made this ship relying on a control board with sensors for the car loader and bow hatch. And the bridge could see the bow or had an officer post at the bow . The Estonia would still be above the waves. God bless those who rest below the waves.
My father almost had bough a ticket onto that faithfully voyage. Unluckily/luckily some work needed his attention that day, so he didn't go. Two of his friends weren't as lucky. They both died in the disaster. May you rest easy.
if her design was intended for the Kiel-Oslo route then it was not designed for baltic cruising. I heard stories about the last year: hammers and blowtorches used to close the visor
Incredibly stupid engineering to design the bow like that. The bow is supposed to be the strongest part of the ship and they built it to be held on by a couple of brittle hinges.
At 3:17 was the day that she was going to sink, because when she set sail that day she had to much weight on the starboard side and as we can see at 3:17 she has more weight on her starboard side, making a lean
MS Estoninisnt smaller than the Mariella MS Estonia is their flagship and the biggest MSFinnjet was the fastest Get your facts in order .MS Estonia was massive and jumboized in around 1991
I think i have been in the ship when it was wasa king, i have some photos from the trip vaasa-uumaja-vaasa. It was my first ship trip. I was about 11 years and its scary thinking of it
But I wonder why and how the lockers of the ramp housing got destroyed, I know it got destroyed by waves but I wonder why the lockers are not stable... Is it because it’s not connected properly? Is it because some of the water got in? I’m not sure yet
Well I mean do you mean the lockers of the visor or the ramp? The locks/hinges of the visor failed because they could not withstand the force of the waves and thats simply poor engineering, the locks were not made strong enough to be safe in those kind of conditions. As you know, the ship was not originally planned to be operated on more open sea, but for 12 years before traveling Tallin-Stockholm route it traveled on routes that didnt see as rough conditions. Anyhow as for the ramp behind the visor, the visor tore it down as it fell. The design there was also such that unfortunately it made it possible for the visor to tore the ramp down with it as it fell to the sea. And ofc there werent any water proof/tight doors behind the ramp, so then water had free access to the entire length of the ship/cardeck. Now ppl want still to this very day question this official explanation about the accients, but I see no reason to doubt it. Bad engineering/design has been the result of so many other disasters in the past, why it should be any different with Estonia, especially without any clear proof that would say otherwise?
Wow very nice tribute video you made. I subbed. Btw I made a tribute video too which is a documentary of The M/S Estonia. It is called *Estonia 25* and are around 30 min long. Check it out on my channel if you want to
Absolutely beautiful piece of work - thank you for this but unfortunately stimulation at the end is not showing the actual cause of Estonia sinking. In order for vessel this huge to sink this quick air must be rapidly replaced by water, damaged bow wiser is not and has never been reason for this awful disaster.

MS Estonia - discovering the hole ua-cam.com/video/t1Z4ID7git4/v-deo.html This is probably the explanation to the fast sinking of the ship. Survivors who slept in cabins located below the cardeck reported that water didn't flow down from the stairs, which would be the case if the majority of the water did come from the cardeck. Instead they reported that water was coming from the the lower part of the ship. This report go in line whit the report of the two technicians, Henrik Sillaste and Tanel Moosaar, who worked on Estonia that night. They were the last people to leave the ship and did so via the emergency exit trough the chimney. They reported that they could see water coming in from the front gate (which was closed at the time) on cardeck, but not close to the quantities which would have caused the sinking in under an hour. Henriks and Tanels observation was made with a surveillance camera which was pointed at the gate. This two reports was not accounted for in the official reports. All of this is in a new documentary on the streaming site "dplay", but I don't remember if its free or not.
Really good video! but what do you think now about the recent discoveries? A 4 meter big hole/rift in the hull :O Do you think it could be plausible to believe the sinking wasn't an accident after all?
I think it sank becuse of the poorly maintenanced bow door, but i think that the ship should have been floating for much longer. The hole in the hull made the ship sink faster than it it should have, thus more people could have been saved if it wasn't for the hole in the hull.
@@robins4209 you definitely got a point with the hole in the hull making it sink faster. But I believe the hole came first and cause of that major blow when the *cough* submarine *cough* hit the ship, the bow door loosened. Maybe. But anyway if this did not happen, at least a security camera showed that the car ramp wasn't down so there actually didn't come in that much water. Anyway, I obviously know nothing other than what I saw in the M/S Estonia documentary (which I btw recommend you watch 100%, if you haven't already). I just don't think it was an accident after seeing it and also how incredibly secretive the Swedish government has been about it, makes me think there is more to the story. I hope will get some more answers soon though.
@@molly7078 I actually wantched the documentary and obvoiusly the swedish government has something to hide, i'm swedish myself and i'm very disappionted on how the government handled this "accident". I don't belive its a submarine though, since i think it would be "scrathces" after the submarine if it were to hit a ship like estonia. (I presume that estonia were in motion all the way to the point of the sinking)
@@robins4209 yeah ikr! It's so creepy that a civilized country keeps things like this secret. They should be open about it what happened, and especially if it was just an accident. Ohhh, then you probably know a lot more about this than me. But then again, your government hasn't exactly told you much... Hmm, but what else could it have been? With the background story with the military equipment and the smuggling, I would think it was rather "obvious". As we saw in the documentary it would have had to be something with great force. And the ground is all clay. But do you think that even after watching the documentary, that the ship sank cause of simply an accident? I'm just really confused tbh...
Clay is actually very hard to hit. I think the visor cut up the hole and that the buckling is from hitting the bottom. It could also be from the water pressure if there was a pressure tight enclosure behind it. Water pressure at these depths is around 800kPa so a formidable force on a big surface.
A real disaster and Sweden's right-wing government between the years 1991-94 and the Western Alliance is to blame for the catastrophe after smuggling military equipment out from Russia after the end of the Cold War.
I also believe that her visor was blown up but on UA-cam there are many people that might disagree and get mad, so this is the official version of the sinking which I don’t believe.
@@theshipaddict7865 Well again unless proven otherwise I dont see any reason to believe why the most logical and official reason for the disaster could not be true....Now I dont get mad at ppl who want to believe in conspiracy theories, but I also cant understand why its so hard for people to accept/believe that the locks/hinges of the visor were not strong enough to withstand the force of the waves and broke....why is this so hard for some people to believe? The faulty engineering/design has been the reason for so many disasters/accidents throughout history, so why cant people believe that in Estonia's case? If we were talking about normal conditions at the sea that night, then sure I would say it would be very fishy to believe that the visor failed due to natural reasons, but in this case the conditions were anything but normal and Estonia was not originally designed to be going between the route it went from 1993 onwards on more open sea, as you well know and where the conditions during storm can be much more rough than on the route it used to travel between 1980-1992.
Balnazzardi Yes, M/S Estonia wasn’t built to sail rough waves so the accident could have been avoided. There are many different theories. It’s a fact that Estonia had many technical issues and wasn’t fit to sail until Estline got her fixed. It’s just very suspicious that many survivors said that they heard booming sounds from the visor that sounded very metallic but that’s not what waves usually sound like. There are so many things that the governments are hiding... it’s hard to believe the official version if there are so many holes in the story. What were the secret military trucks transporting, why water came in first under the car deck, not the car deck where the visor is attached to? How could a ship sink in only ~30 minutes? If the official version was true then Estonia could have stayed above the water surface for days if not weeks... Yes, everyone has the rights for their own opinion.. or it’s just my way of thinking.
@@theshipaddict7865 Well because lot of those things can be explained with logical reasons....first of all the loud metallic bangs were simply caused when the visor first of all had its inner locks/hinges broken and then the visor was only hanging on by its upper locks/hinges (on the bow of the ship), slamming against the hull as it lower part was lose andbefore the upper locks/ gave in and the visor fell completely off, tearing the car ramp down with it. Secondly in ALL reports the water WAS spotted coming from the sides of the car ramp when it was still up, so Idk from what source you have read that it would have been first spotted on the lower car deck... Thirdly again very logical reason why the ship sunk as fast as it did and did not stay floating on its side/upside down is that if you actually read the accient repot, the waves (and again these were not some small waves, but storm waves) broke the windows on the right side of the ship, starting from the rear which allowed water in to the upper decks and why the ship sunk rear/stern first Honestly no offense, but this is not rocket science and if you actually read the accident report and really studied the subject, there is NO indication whatsoever that would suggest that the ship was sabotaged and sunk on purpose. Also no, the ship was NOT repaired/modified obviously safely enough to its new course/purpose. For sure they had installed better "stabilizers" or whatever they are called to it, but again obviously they missed the most critical part of the ship, the visor and did not strenghten it or installed water tight doors behind the car ramp, which would have also prevented the disaster from happening. Anyhow I really strongly suggest any conspiracy theorists to first look at the facts and reports instead of believing all the stories out there. Facts over fiction and only after that make your own conclusions.
@syntikkamies well it might not be radioactive. But I do believe it exploded. Why did the ship wait for one exact truck at the port? And even was late to depart
@@supertrinigamer well too late cause there's a series for the event. They found another hole. It was a submarine. And I think it was a russian submarine a random one but my mom always thinks it's the kursk idk why tho. Lol
@@EchaOmega if its an sub that sub would have been found during that search it just wont damage the ship it would damage the whole front if the submarine causing it to not go under water since water pressure would act up on that damage and could possibly causing an hole on that sub its not an sub it would just be mother nature ;)
I was on another viking line vessel during a storm in the baltic sea 1980. It was impossible to move around and the best thing was to stay in the cabin. I still remember how water flooded the stairways mixed with human throw ups. They had sealed whit firedoors but still enormous amount of water poured in. Later on i saw that this ferry had the same bow construction as Estonia and that was kind of chilling. But that's life. Luck and unluck. It's like flipping a coin sometimes. We never forget the souls lost on Estonia.

Thats sick!!
Estonia doesn't have sisterships.
Not that unreasonable fear. Since in reality Diana II had the exact same bow visor failure. Only it was in 1993 (so even before Estonia) and in it's case it was partial one. one sides lock managed to held on while bending, while other side completely failed same as in Estonia. Thus leading only the visor cracking open little bit instead of completely ripping open and taking the bow car ramp with it. Thus it only leaked, instead of pouring the whole sea in the car deck. The ship limped to port, was inspected and ordered to be repaired.
However as I understand by 1996, you in the end would have been safe. As I remember after Estonia, Diana II and other sister/ similar design ships had their bow visors permanently welded shut to be permanent part of bow hull in retrofit at dry dock, since as was revealed by MULTIPLE visor failures, the design was defective and unsafe. Thus the retro fit and the ferries continued operation by using only their rear ramp.

They reported that they could see water coming in from the front gate (which was closed at the time) on cardeck, but not close to the quantities which would have caused the sinking in under an hour. Henriks and Tanels observation was made with a surveillance camera which was pointed at the gate. This two reports was not accounted for in the official reports.
All of this is in a new documentary on the streaming site "dplay", but I don't remember if its free or not.
Rip estonia 1980 to 1994
Me sitting on my bed looking at my lego Estonia moc: are you gonna sink on me
Ferry Estonia is the sinking 1994. The MS ferry Estonia age 14 in 1994. The 3 years in 1983 Japanese make both ferry 🇯🇵Lubenice 🇯🇵Brestova
Holy cow I Just realized if you rename a ship it will have bad luck so maybe that's why the Estonia sank
LOL
Not true
Not true
Silja line and wasa line look like Estonia
Really good video! but what do you think now about the recent discoveries? A 4 meter big hole/rift in the hull :O Do you think it could be plausible to believe the sinking wasn't an accident after all?
I think it sank becuse of the poorly maintenanced bow door, but i think that the ship should have been floating for much longer.
The hole in the hull made the ship sink faster than it it should have, thus more people could have been saved if it wasn't for the hole in the hull.
@@robins4209 you definitely got a point with the hole in the hull making it sink faster. But I believe the hole came first and cause of that major blow when the *cough* submarine *cough* hit the ship, the bow door loosened. Maybe. But anyway if this did not happen, at least a security camera showed that the car ramp wasn't down so there actually didn't come in that much water. Anyway, I obviously know nothing other than what I saw in the M/S Estonia documentary (which I btw recommend you watch 100%, if you haven't already). I just don't think it was an accident after seeing it and also how incredibly secretive the Swedish government has been about it, makes me think there is more to the story. I hope will get some more answers soon though.
@@molly7078 I actually wantched the documentary and obvoiusly the swedish government has something to hide, i'm swedish myself and i'm very disappionted on how the government handled this "accident". I don't belive its a submarine though, since i think it would be "scrathces" after the submarine if it were to hit a ship like estonia. (I presume that estonia were in motion all the way to the point of the sinking)
@@robins4209 yeah ikr! It's so creepy that a civilized country keeps things like this secret. They should be open about it what happened, and especially if it was just an accident.
Ohhh, then you probably know a lot more about this than me. But then again, your government hasn't exactly told you much...
Hmm, but what else could it have been? With the background story with the military equipment and the smuggling, I would think it was rather "obvious". As we saw in the documentary it would have had to be something with great force. And the ground is all clay.
But do you think that even after watching the documentary, that the ship sank cause of simply an accident? I'm just really confused tbh...
Clay is actually very hard to hit. I think the visor cut up the hole and that the buckling is from hitting the bottom. It could also be from the water pressure if there was a pressure tight enclosure behind it. Water pressure at these depths is around 800kPa so a formidable force on a big surface.
1980 to 1994 is actualy 14 years

I love the name m/s Estonia or ESTLINE
Good video but ferry was bottom up before it went down
Yes, I am aware of that. I was trying to find a good quality simulation and this is the only one that I could possibly find.
It was never upside down before sinking. Where did you get that from?
if it was bottom upp it would have stayed more then 45 min before sinking
Omg what the hell ms estonia bow was free and it sank 🛳
Rip estlane
finnish peoples like this video because the animation is finnish and ofc im finnish
♥️🇫🇮
My dad went on Viking Sally
the Estonia, it only got selled to different lines XDD, R.I.P to the people who died..
A real disaster and Sweden's right-wing government between the years 1991-94 and the Western Alliance is to blame for the catastrophe after smuggling military equipment out from Russia after the end of the Cold War.
Its just so erie to see a modernish ship just get eaten by the water

I wish it can salvaged
that is not how the ship sinked
I also believe that her visor was blown up but on UA-cam there are many people that might disagree and get mad, so this is the official version of the sinking which I don’t believe.
@@theshipaddict7865 Well again unless proven otherwise I dont see any reason to believe why the most logical and official reason for the disaster could not be true....Now I dont get mad at ppl who want to believe in conspiracy theories, but I also cant understand why its so hard for people to accept/believe that the locks/hinges of the visor were not strong enough to withstand the force of the waves and broke....why is this so hard for some people to believe? The faulty engineering/design has been the reason for so many disasters/accidents throughout history, so why cant people believe that in Estonia's case?
If we were talking about normal conditions at the sea that night, then sure I would say it would be very fishy to believe that the visor failed due to natural reasons, but in this case the conditions were anything but normal and Estonia was not originally designed to be going between the route it went from 1993 onwards on more open sea, as you well know and where the conditions during storm can be much more rough than on the route it used to travel between 1980-1992.
Balnazzardi Yes, M/S Estonia wasn’t built to sail rough waves so the accident could have been avoided. There are many different theories. It’s a fact that Estonia had many technical issues and wasn’t fit to sail until Estline got her fixed. It’s just very suspicious that many survivors said that they heard booming sounds from the visor that sounded very metallic but that’s not what waves usually sound like. There are so many things that the governments are hiding... it’s hard to believe the official version if there are so many holes in the story. What were the secret military trucks transporting, why water came in first under the car deck, not the car deck where the visor is attached to? How could a ship sink in only ~30 minutes? If the official version was true then Estonia could have stayed above the water surface for days if not weeks... Yes, everyone has the rights for their own opinion.. or it’s just my way of thinking.
@@theshipaddict7865 Well because lot of those things can be explained with logical reasons....first of all the loud metallic bangs were simply caused when the visor first of all had its inner locks/hinges broken and then the visor was only hanging on by its upper locks/hinges (on the bow of the ship), slamming against the hull as it lower part was lose andbefore the upper locks/ gave in and the visor fell completely off, tearing the car ramp down with it.
Secondly in ALL reports the water WAS spotted coming from the sides of the car ramp when it was still up, so Idk from what source you have read that it would have been first spotted on the lower car deck...
Thirdly again very logical reason why the ship sunk as fast as it did and did not stay floating on its side/upside down is that if you actually read the accient repot, the waves (and again these were not some small waves, but storm waves) broke the windows on the right side of the ship, starting from the rear which allowed water in to the upper decks and why the ship sunk rear/stern first
Honestly no offense, but this is not rocket science and if you actually read the accident report and really studied the subject, there is NO indication whatsoever that would suggest that the ship was sabotaged and sunk on purpose.
Also no, the ship was NOT repaired/modified obviously safely enough to its new course/purpose. For sure they had installed better "stabilizers" or whatever they are called to it, but again obviously they missed the most critical part of the ship, the visor and did not strenghten it or installed water tight doors behind the car ramp, which would have also prevented the disaster from happening.
Anyhow I really strongly suggest any conspiracy theorists to first look at the facts and reports instead of believing all the stories out there. Facts over fiction and only after that make your own conclusions.
@@Balnazzardi I mostly believe the explosion cause the ship was super late on departing.
3 hours after 26 years
But the carramp was closed
No, it was ripped open. The reason it is closed now is that the ship has rotated so that the ramp has closed again since it is heavier than water.

WHY THIS SONG
I struggled a lot with the choice of the song and from other channels I saw that many people use this one and it goes well with the video.
Ok fair enough but honestly its used in sinking vids too much
Gla DoS Yes I agree. Just ran out of ideas, you know.
Bad luck When you Rename a ship
😢😢😢😢
The ship exploded it's right now radioactive still.
What do you smoke?
i want some
@syntikkamies well it might not be radioactive. But I do believe it exploded. Why did the ship wait for one exact truck at the port? And even was late to depart
@@EchaOmega Because you can't just leave a truck behind... that's pretty selfish. Also, it was well known they smuggled military stuff.
@@supertrinigamer well too late cause there's a series for the event. They found another hole. It was a submarine. And I think it was a russian submarine a random one but my mom always thinks it's the kursk idk why tho. Lol
@@EchaOmega if its an sub that sub would have been found during that search it just wont damage the ship it would damage the whole front if the submarine causing it to not go under water since water pressure would act up on that damage and could possibly causing an hole on that sub its not an sub it would just be mother nature ;)
I love how Estonia's a girl
Estonia have had a holes by the side
@@egonkukk5863 A shop can't sink under 1h with out a Hole
Joel Verdugo its cuz shops dont sink
And now we have pictures of it too

She was hit by a submarine. Before the hit, the bow was blown of by explosive Nato or the russians sunk the Estonia R.I.P
