Question 3

Time: 00:00:00

Naval architects never claim that a ship is unsinkable, but the sinking of the passenger-and-car ferry Estonia in the Baltic surely should have never have happened.

It went down so quickly that most of those on board, caught in their dark, flooding cabins, had no chance to save themselves and only 139 survived. The final death toll amounted to 912 souls. However, many survivors were men in the prime of life, while most of the dead were women, children and the elderly.
