Ignorance of power is best illustrated by Carl Bildt, and so he should still have some recognition that he had something to say.
After Henrik Evertsson’s documentary series “Estonia: The Find That Changes Everything”, Carl Bildt tweeted: “… indisputable that he sank after going too high speed in extreme sea and tore off the bow visor , which filled the boat with water. Did it collide with a submarine at the same time? I doubt it, let the experts review it. “
I doubt that Carl Bildt saw Evertsson’s five-part documentary before tweeting, but it is perfectly in line with how all those responsible behaved after the fateful night of September 28, 1994.
I’m last on the ball in this “debate” – but didn’t he die too hastily? As usual with everything related to Estonia. Strange. The find, the hole, in Estonia, of course, should make everyone talk and talk for weeks, twenty-four hours a day, but: silence.
Henrik Evertsson’s work was rewarded last week with a well-deserved Grand Prize for Journalist nomination. You have to see the documentary on Dplay.
The most shocking thing told in Henrik Evertsson’s documentary is still not about the find they make, even if it actually changes everything.
Most shocking is how all the aftermath of the Estonian sinking have been handled by the state, researchers, politicians, governments, commissions. It is a continuous, ongoing 26-year scandal that must be allowed to grow freely and like an avalanche, without conspiracy theories.
There are so many unanswered questions and so much revealing silence to listen to. And try to interpret.
Except right Stupid tweet from Bildt no one wanted to say anything. No one has had time. Nobody remembers it. Nobody wants. Nobody can. They are all gone. Out with the dog. Everyone should be collectively ashamed, of course.
I called Henrik Evertsson and asked him who refused to participate: Ingvar Carlsson, Ines Usman, Mona Sahlin, Johan Hirschfeldt, Johan Fransson (passed away during the summer). As the Swedish and Finnish part of the Accident Investigation Board: Hans Rosengren, Ann-Louise Eksborg, Mikael Huss, Olle Noord, Tuomo Karppinen. No thanks.
Ingvar Carlsson said after the sinking, and in relation to the government that opposes the rescue, that it was the most difficult political decision of his life, but he does not want to talk about it. It is beyond strange.
A dozen garden elves feel more credible than this obviously sworn collection. The question is whether some kind of truth commission couldn’t bind them.
The idea of launching Estonia and concrete !? At the time it seemed almost natural, and he only questioned himself when it was almost too late; now I’d probably like to call the idea perverted.
The new find should spur new large-scale research, new dives, a cold autumn group for Estonia. Henrik Evertsson has done basic journalistic work and appeared without permission. Very well! Journalists like Jonas Gummesson and Lars Borgnäs unearthed difficult information about the smuggling of military equipment into Estonia more than fifteen years ago. Silenced. I forget.
Henrik Evertsson speaks with several very credible surviving witnesses who have never been properly heard. He talks to divers who were at the scene two months after the sinking, who located about 120 bodies, but were never asked to rescue them.
“It would have been easy at any time, ”they say in the Evertsson movie. Estonia is shallow, visibility is good, “if we had body bags and a basket to lift them, we could have saved everyone.”
Did the respected Member of Parliament Lars Ångström wonder in the film who was down and appeared in Estonia only two or three days after the disaster? It has never been clarified. Rather. The truth now remains. Only the truth.
