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 9:11, 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.
