852 of the 989 people on board Estonia died when the ship sank in the Baltic Sea, between Tallinn and Stockholm, on September 28, 1994.
Estonia, Finland and Sweden started a joint investigation, with experts and members, which was completed in 1997. The results of the official report show that a bow visor came loose and therefore water rushed into the ship.
A new documentary about Estonia publishes new images that supposedly show a hole about four meters long in the starboard hull.
Margus Kurm, a former Estonian prosecutor, claims that it was a Swedish submarine that collided with Estonia, and that the Swedish authorities concealed it. The country’s prime minister, Jüri Ratas, demands that a new investigation and new dives be carried out.
Researchers Mikael Huss and Hans Rosengren claim that in the 1990s there were no holes in the hull. Both participated in the investigation of the Accident Investigation Board. Rosengren also says that at the time it was not discussed that any Swedish submarine would collide with Estonia.
The Swedish government has not provided any information on a new investigation.
