Documentary filmmakers have found a large hole in the hull of the cruise ferry Estonia, which sank in the Baltic Sea in 1994. It writes Aftonbladet.
The hole has previously been partially hidden towards the lake bottom. Jörgen Almdahl, who is a professor of marine technology in Trondheim, says in a new documentary series on Dplay that it can not be ruled out that the damage was significant because the ship sank.
The findings support the theory rejected by the authorities – that there was a hole in the hull that led to the rapid sinking. That the explanation was not only that the bow visor fell off.
852 people died in the accident that happened 26 years ago, 137 were rescued.
