What a tragedy, it seems the crew caused more fatalities with their lack of response. Not that any fatalities are acceptable....

liz, The initial report stated there was a 'fault' with the seal on the bow doors of the MS Estonia, although this was disputed and not believed by some, which was further compounded by the discovery of a large hole in the ships hull in 2020. The Herald of Free Enterprise's sinking investigation report stated that the bow doors were 'not closed due to human error'.
