The divers who did these inspections said they found a lot of bodies and they would be able to get them of the sunken ship but the governments who had their part in this told them to leave the bodies in the boat. So the diver would probably not be scared of seeing a dead body if that’s what he saw and dragged out.

[@Estoniaveckan]

They knew there would be bodies but they were told to handle them with respect and they also marked where the bodies were. Thats why this is not a body. The diver would never treat a body like that.

No, it is not. It is based on the diving operation as a whole. I have studied the divings, and logs, that are closely documented and the tasks that were given and also the contract and report after the job was done. What is your argument based on?

It looks like it's just some type of insulation, like rockwool or something between the windows that gets pulled out when he pulls the 'chicken wire' glass out. If you look here 2:30 it also looks like it's lining the bottom of the window too in between the gap.

[@Estoniaveckan]

That is probably right, something like that

[@thesussexbunion]

Many states, and countries as well (might have to look up Estonia) have laws regarding human remains, as well as a great deal of respect/reverence held by ordinary humans for the loss of another- if a human body was indeed found, it would have been documented with great care by all agencies involved. Just my opinion (not that it matters😂). Thank you so much for all you do in researching this horrible tragedy!

Unless they don’t care about the remains because if they did they would raise her (they can and it was proposed but denied) unless they have something to hide on the ship

[@naarahjanemorris3121]

I'm just asking why weren't the bodies removed? families need closure & to bring there family member home.

[@Estoniaveckan]

The decision not to raise any bodies was based on the conclusion that all of the bodies could not be salaved. Some would be left behind. Therefore no bodies were raised. In order to take care of all of the bodies, they would have been forced to raise the wreck which was difficult and dangerous. It would have been a huge task, not impossible but dangerous to the people that would have worked with the cleaning of the ship.

I’m leaning to the interpretation of cadaver as well, in one frame it appears that individuated teeth as part of larger set are able to be discerned.

[@Estoniaveckan]

To me it is highly unlikely because of how the diver moves it. They never moved bodies unless they needed to. There is a case where the diver show the face of a vicitm to the camera so the doctor could determine in what state the body was. They would never have treated a body that disrespectul so the only logical conclusion is that it is not a body.

[@nickf4333]

@@Estoniaveckan it’s possible given the state of decay (as well as possible mission/motive of individual diver) that he did not recognize the material he was moving (same goes along with the supervisor). There is a clear frame showing individual set of upper teeth as well as separate frames showing both upper and lower sets of teeth. I’m not debating the guidance given to the divers, I’m basing by conclusion upon the photographic evidence at hand. The frame where you can see the individual upper teeth is undeniable.

[@Estoniaveckan]

I would say no. They continuously reported the state of the bodies. However one of the body on the bridge looked like it had been attacked by fish but it was still recognizible as a body. You also have to take into account what the diver does before he is pulling something out. He removes glass from the window and stuff comes lose. That makes it more likely to be some sort of insulation or something from the walls.

[@jackventuras5050]

It is very strange, though, as even in the low resolution, you can pretty clearly see a decomposed but well preserved face with a wide open mouth. If this is an illusion, it is a very good one. Maybe the diver was so focused on removing the glass and fire isolation that he didn't pay attention. It is odd, however, that they didn't notice it when reviewing the footage after the dive if it is in fact a body. I read a comment on another video with the footage that the diver is startled and works fast to get rid of whatever he pulled down.

[@Estoniaveckan]

I have watched a fair amount of the footage from the Rockwater divings. To me it is obvious that it is not a body. Probably it is some kind of insolation. I base this conclusion on the hours I've been watching the footage from december 1994. Everytime the diver encounters a body he reports it. He also does that if he suspects that there is a body behind a door or something like that. You cannot see any bodies in the footage that is available to the public, why would this be an execption? And why did the diver not report the body if there was one? The simple answere is that it is no body.

[@jackventuras5050]

@@Estoniaveckan Same here, and the simple answer here is to each their own. With all of the secrecy and smoke and mirrors evolving around the Estonia disaster, I wouldn't be surprised if we just stared a body right in the face. Without official statements confirming whether the clip shows a body or not, we can't know for sure, and because of all of the debris obstructing the diver's view as he removes the glass and insulation, there is also the possibility that the diver did not see what the camera caught and thus did not comment on it, leading to the dive leader also not reacting to it. Me being a hobbyist free diver, in waters like the Baltic Sea, the visibility is nil, and sometimes a camera can see more than the naked eye, which is already obstructed by our equipment. That you don't see a body is your opinion, and you are entitled to it, but don't pull that high-horse baloney until you can actually confirm something. Your little channel here doesn't come close to qualifying you to be an expert on the matter. I wish you all the best!

[@Estoniaveckan]

The footage was monitored in real time as you know by at least one person. Probably more. As you know there were police officers onboard the diving platform and diving expert as an example. Later the videos has been reviewed by several people. The footage was also cut to remove sequences where bodies were visible. My opinion is that it is highly unlikely that it is a body, that every one of these people missed it. Perhaps my "little channel" here as you put it may not make me an diving expert, but all my research into this makes me an expert on the subject I would say. As you may have seen I have done a lot of reading, researching, watching footage, read diving logs etc etc. Have a nice summer!

For a piece of fabric or something like that it sure seemed to shoot to the surface like a decomposed body would, perhaps it was so wrapped up and undersized the diver didn't take it to be remains. Maybe it was a wrapped up life vest or other floatation device.

[@shedontanks]

What is the star shaped thing stuck to the back of it?

[@morganchristenson8920]

I hate being that person but if you stare above the mesh as he's hitting it, you can clearly make out that it's a head and when he goes to pull, he's pulling at the mouth and the whole thing stretches out. Had he taken the time to examine instead of just smash through shit, he'd be able to see what he pulled. That's more than just fabric. Plus, the debri acts like decayed sediment. AKA a body.

[@Estoniaveckan]

I would say no based on everything that I say in the video. The diver would never handle a body like this. And if it would have been a body it would have been marked on a drawing which it is not. As you can tell from the video no one is reacting to what he is doing so that support the conclusion that it is not a body.

[@morganchristenson8920]

@Estoniaveckan stare harder at the video. Before he pulls on the head, you can see it floating perfectly at nose level inside the mesh all intact(for the most part). You can see the open mouth, jaw line and everything before he goes to pull. The only reason I made it out was because I watched it over and over a few times to make sure i was seeing what i was seeing. He was recklessly knocking and pulling at that mesh and knocking debri around. When he goes to pull, the only thing "intact" is the skull itself because the fleshy parts around it including the eyes(which you can see after he pulls) all stretch out like goo and hold together because when flesh hits a certain point of decay when it's still attached to bone but wanting to fall apart, it'll act like this. It's goo flesh and bones.

[@morganchristenson8920]

​@@EstoniaveckanI swear, please watch it over until you see it. You can make out the teeth when he's knocking on stuff from the lower jaw being detached more than it already was. I had to rewatch the video again just now to verify what I saw was more than just "debri" that is in fact, unfortunately, human remains that the diver didn't recognize immediately because he was worried about removing the mesh entirely for some reason instead of inspecting the inside of the hole thoroughly

[@karlkarlsson9126]

@@morganchristenson8920 I believe so too. When I first saw all the diving clips from Rockwater I couldn't help noticing that the diver was heavy-handed, a bit rough with his approach, like almost annoyed, and similar decayed sediment can be seen in some other clips as well, if I remember correctly when he entered one of the hallways with all the doors to the cabins. I can understand that things can sometimes look deceiving, but it looks like decayed sediment.

I believe somewhere it was said that they found a badly decomposed body at the bridge which apprently had been partly eaten by fish or something. I have always believed it is referring to this. I also have watched the clip numerous times and I have always thought there is a human face there and the diver is pulling out the torso (or what is left of the body).

I admire your dedication to myth busting around the tragedy. Your research will help disprove some of the wilder myths. I’m not in agreement here though.

Do you have any toughts about the diver not mention a body at all when he pulls something out? And what ever it is it is not visible when he first starts to pull the shatterd glass but becomes visible after a few pulls. When it comes to bodies, in all the video material the divers always mention that they have found a body or bodies. Why would this be an exception?

[@erikpetrieartwork8485]

No, at this stage, I don’t want to speculate beyond that it may have been a dive Supervisor’s instruction not to disclose in this instance. We’re not helped here by the gag order on Rockwater divers and/or the decision by multiple governments and agencies to retain classified documents. I’m assuming that’s relating to the decision to use a passenger ferry to transport military tech on previous voyages and effectively use passengers as human shields? -I appreciate it would be unrealistic to ask for FoI’s around this and expect a positive outcome. It’s too messy.. I wonder if you could tell me about the ships controls? Do you know if they are in a position that would show a “crash stop” manoeuvre had been attempted?

[@Estoniaveckan]

Neither Sweden, Finland or Estonia were at war at the time, why do you think that anyone would have come up with the idea of "human shields"? Do you think that the russians sank the ship because there may have been military electronics onboard? The controls on the port side for the port side engine was set to full astern and the starboard side to 10-20 % forward. On the main control panel the port side lever was set to 50% astern and the starboard side to 50 %. This info comes from the JAIC report page 129, chapter 8.8. The conclusion in the investigation is that the speed was reduced and the ship turned to port (page 178).

From what I've read human remains quickly disappear from the sea because they are rapidly consumed by all the animals, whether microrganisms, fish or any other sea animals. For a body to last more than a few weeks in the sea is virtually impossible. Only a skeleton could remain but even that can be decomposed by the acidity and pressure of the water, among other aspects. This video was recorded in December, more than two months after the sinking, which occured at 28th of September. By this time most likely the only human remains of the trapped victims on the ship would be skeletons. Some 130+ body remains were recovered from the wreck so possibly some remains existed but I'm not aware of any public footage of them, which makes sense considering the authorities were obliged to respect the victim's and their families' rights to privacy. Ultimately the ship wreck was declared a deep sea cementery so all the remainders are protected from what is considered profanation. In short, there will never be any footage of bodies floating around while divers investigated the wreckage. I hope all of the victims suffered the minimum possible and that they and their families were able to find some kind of peace.

[@EricBlair-jg2ux]

Your assertion contradicts the Rockwater Diver's statements in his interview in Henrik Evertson's Estonia documentary. He says the bodies were "in good condition, some even still had lipstick on".

The 'what' he pulled out through the window were human remains. I hope the diver didn't realize this because how he handles the remains is very disrespectful.

The report says and the video shows, that it appears to be a body. Since there are/were no remains (the body pretty much disappears because of decay) of course they can't say they know for 100% certainty it was a body, but they can say that for them it appeared like that. It's not a mistake that the officials took this as a "it's a body". Because for at least 85% certainty it is.

The report that says it may have been a body is not official. They also looked at the video footage and thought it was a body.

Is that Alvin from Alvin and the Chipmunks diving on that wreck?!. That's not a piece of fabric, its a body.

[@Estoniaveckan]

The voices are affected by the helium oxygen mix. It is not a body, is is some kind of material. The divers would never have treated a body like that.

[@MrSilver708]

I know this is serious but the only thing I noticed was the other diver he was talking to sounded like Charlie Brown's teacher 😊.....wa wa waa wa wa wa

[@alsunpilsut]

I don't even know what I'm supposed to be looking at.

[@suzyinstitches273]

3:18 a face with open mouth and teeth showing

[@cynbloxy]

​@@suzyinstitches273 stop seeing things lol, as soon as the diver touched the "body" he would have noticed human remains and reported it

[@michealkelliher8428]

One has to remember that 800 people went down with this ship/ ferry, so the chances of coming across bodies, no matter how big the vessel was, would be of a very high percentage, encountering wise, skeletal or whatever. Just very sad. Innocent passengers taken from us like that. It's extraordinary how it sank so quickly with that many people on board. To a degree, it was worse than the Lusitania or the Titanic, 1912 v 1994, naval technology, and safety clearly hadn't improved as much as it should have by 1994. Even 30 years later, I don't think it still has improved very much.

[@paulknight9998]

Det ser ut som att han drar ut brandisolering

[@Estoniaveckan]

Det är mycket möjligt att det är det. Det ser inte ut att finnas där när han börjar dra utan kommer fram när han har dragit ett tag.

[@fredrik5402]

@Paul Knight Isolering låter som en rimlig förklaring 👍 Kan det vara samma slags material man ser mellan ytter- och innerväg framför dykarens fötter vid 2:32?

[@wyomingadventures]

Definitely not a body there.

[@UWfalcin]

Good video. This is a long living myth online.

[@Rekseri]

Do you think there are bones still inside the wreck in 2023?

[@Estoniaveckan]

There are, yes.

[@ericboom1712]

​@@Estoniaveckanwouldn't they be completely decomposed by now?

[@Estoniaveckan]

Not the bones. During last summer remains could be seen.

[@Rekseri]

@@ericboom1712 Bones last for a very long time

[@ericboom1712]

i see@@Estoniaveckan

[@Rom-ju5tf]

It was in one of the reports, the body was actually just half a body, torso and head, in a bad state of decomposition, the diver pulls the remains. By the hair and lets the body float away, There is also another video when they are searching cabins and right at the end of the video you can see a foot of a person wearing jeans

[@Estoniaveckan]

Which report and video are you refeering to?

[@Sinister_fartbox]

You can clearly see a head and torso when playing on slowmow and pausing

[@lilyfromjetpolice]

3:12 you can see 2 nipples, must be a woman torso. 3:23 the diver is pushing the torso by its shoulder. You can also see some blond hair Here are the references you're asking for

[@Sinister_fartbox]

@@lilyfromjetpolice what is a woman

[@lilyfromjetpolice]

@Optic_fartbox as you said, we can cleary see a torso. It's not a woman's body, its a woman's head and torso, without legs. If you pause, you can see the breats and after you can see some blondie short hair in the head.

[@brentschmogbert]

Why is Mickey Mouse diving?

[@Estoniaveckan]

The voices are distorted because they are breathing a mix between oxygen and helium

[@brentschmogbert]

@@Estoniaveckan Fascinating

[@lemonator8813]

Whqt shipwreck even is thos? Lol 0 context to this video

[@Estoniaveckan]

It is the wreck of the Estonia

[@ColinWhite-bv5cv]

Rip

[@h.w.barlow6693]

That's obviously a body. Do you know the diver personally? How was he supposed to move half of a corpse floating in seawater. Your argument is subjective and overlooking the obvious which is that's a dead person.

[@deeelle9365]

You can see a dead hand.
