New images of the diving robot show an elongated hole in the hull that could explain why Estonia sank so quickly.
Estonia rolled onto its side and sank stern first.
– It has been brought forward by experts and others who speculate that there could be an injury in Estonia causing it to get wet under car tires, says director and journalist Henrik Evertsson.
Investigator: No hole
Mikael Huss, a shipbuilding expert at the Accident Investigation Board investigation, says several dives were made in the 1990s, both for the investigation and for the salvage issue.
So no hole was found, and if there had been a hole, it would have been discovered.
– A so-called fundus examination was performed, before walking to see the condition, where she was lying on the bottom. And if I’d been underwater a long time, I have a hard time imagining that you wouldn’t find a hole, she says.
“I don’t know where they would find the hole”
According to the investigation of the Accident Investigation Board, this was a page that could not be seen when the dives were made in the 90’s. At that time the boat was over 90 degrees.
– One side of the helmet was hidden because it was in the mud at the bottom, but no one turned to her. So I don’t know where they would have found the hole, says Mikael Huss.
Such a colossus doesn’t spin by itself, right?
– No no no. It’s not possible.
Director Henrik Evertsson says the ship “is probably lying down as usual.”
– He moved a little, hit his head around twelve degrees. But at the same time it sank into the mud over the years.
“Which means …”
Henrik Evertsson does not want to speculate whether the hole was visible during previous dives, but in that case he wants more research to be done.
But until then, respond to Mikael Huss’s explanation.
– It is based on your professional knowledge. What she means is that the damage is so long, so long, that one can imagine it could be visible in 1994.
Survivor Rolf Sörman believes the previous investigation was biased and did a poor job.
Henrik Evertsson, director of the newly released documentary on the Estonian disaster, has his own words on the surprising discovery.
