(English Subtitles) ESTONIA - THE LIFELINE THAT SNAPPED - Part 1

This is the first part in a miniseries of three parts (*NOTE: Unfortunately, I DO NOT have access to parts 2 and 3) which details the disastrous sinking of the roll-on/roll-off ferry Estonia in 1994, which happened 25 years ago (give or take a couple of days, thanks Youtube -.-) when the ship was en route to Sweden from Estonia in 1994. I was eleven years old at the time, but still remember the impact it had. This first part is titled "The Survivors' Tale" and is a documentary consisting of interviews with some of the survivors, the captains and rescue workers as well as actual video footage and radio com-traffic from the night in question. I noticed that there weren't any translated versions on Youtube so I took it upon myself to do the actual translating; I did my best to as accurately as possible add english subtitles as a means to get the documentary out to an international audience because I think it is one of the most vivid and horrific tales of a maritime catastrophe in the modern age that's been made; well worthy of being spread beyond the boundaries of the nordic countries. And yes, even though I am usually meticulously concerned with correctness regarding translation, in retrospect I have noticed that quite a lot of spelling errors, gramatical mishaps and a few reference errors (for instance, at https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/CMStqrIB9R8, it's supposed to be 4th floor, not 5th) did in fact slip into the final version, but it will have to do; the result is more or less passable. Originally broadcast on TV4 in Sweden in 2002, created by Johan Brandhammer and Maria Carlshamre and all rights reserved in the name of TV4 and SPIFF AB; this is mainly for spreading awareness, I do not gain from this in any way.
