UNSINKABLE SHIP
Naval architects 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 was well designed and carefully maintained. It
carried the proper number of lifeboats. It had been thoroughly inspected
the day of its fatal voyage. Yet hours later, the Estonia rolled over and
sank in a cold, stormy night. It went down so quickly that most of those
on board, caught in their dark, flooding cabins, had no change to save
themselves: of those who managed to scramble overboard, only 139
survived. The rest died of hypothermia before the rescuers could pluck
them from the cold sea. The final death toll amounted to 912 souls.
However, there were an unpleasant number of questions about why the
Estonia sank and why so many survivors were men in the prime of life,
while most of the dead were women, children and the elderly.
