MS Estonia: The Submarine and Explosion Cover-Up Claims
The ferry's newly filmed hull damage revived a claim that a concealed submarine collision, rather than bow failure, caused the 1994 disaster. A grave-peace treaty and military-equipment shipments supplied further grounds for suspicion. Official records distinguish those genuine restrictions and transports from evidence about the fatal voyage. Later seabed surveys reject a collision or explosion while documenting serious structural, certification and industry-wide safety failures.
