M/S Estonia Mayday Call With Subtitles, Tribute 

That was Andres Tammes, the third officer. And yes, I find Tammes' communication to be remarkably calm given the situation they were in.

N Gauge England -Synthematix- You are a dumb ass. Have a nice life!

@@Synthematix You are so funny, has anyone ever told you that? How funny you are? With your funny jokes, like "they were all probably smoking weed." You should be in comedy. Because you're a joke.

@@Synthematix Sure, it was over 25 years ago now but ffs. Ppl lost their relatives and family. You don't just make jokes like that.

so far i know they might have not completely realized that it was as bad as it was because they couldnt see the front of the ship from the bridge so they didnt realize they had a massive hole in the front

pelle elm Aww, that’s terrible! Prayers are with you and your family.

I feel sorry for your grandparents

thats good

Rip, the water chilled them fast. Dont worry, theyre good now. peace mate

Sad🙁😢 RIP🙏

Or did he survive? He was reported as a survivor the first days and recognized by people who knew him. Even in footage after the ship had sunk people recognized him..

@@fragman4521 Arvo Andresson was the captain, look it up. He died on the ship.

@@fragman4521 in the final stages of the accident, third mate Andres Tammes and first mate Tormi Ainsalu were seen leaving the command bridge. Arvo Andresson, chief mate Juha Härma and fourth mate Kaimar Kikas remained on the bridge and died.

@@Bawamba The shipping company declared the commander as rescued and the hospital declared 7-8 crew members as rescued, but all of these were later reported as missing instead. Very strange. One of the women rescued apparently used her nickname which nobody else shouldn't have known about. Also the same woman or her sister who also was supposed to have been rescued from the start called home one year later, but the call got disconnected..

@@fragman4521 Well, fyi what you read on flashback or reddit aint always true. Good to have in the back of the head for next time you post comments.

Makes me cry when I hear this. Must've been terrible, just terrible.

Especially considering that the ship was at least at a 30 degree angle at that point

The guy on the radio underestimated the list quite a lot, it was much more than 30+ at that point. RIP Estonia and everyone who perished that morning.

@@TheSuspectOnFoot It was nearly 90° when they said that

Apparently the ship ended up capsizing. They could've done a 180 for what anyone knew.

And people talking

You can also hear groans from the ship changing list

Where was the captain. This is 3rd in command speaking. Went over so fast.

Petrus Invictus actually 4th in command, third officer. The way ship’s authority is passed: Captain>First Officer>Second Officer>etc.

Yeah, that’s very scary..

That's really interesting. Thank you for sharing

Props to the Baltic Sea SAR and the Swedish Army

@@BreadLoafSFM and my uncle the pederast

Alltho the rescue was really slow because of the bad weather. Some people freeze to death inside those life boats because they waited hours for the rescue. These big boats were afraid to go too near by the people on water or lifeboats so that waves don't throw them too hard toward the boats or under, so many people drowned or died to hypothermia instead. Could more risks have been taken...that boats would have tried to lift people from the sea into the boats too ? to that there is many opinnions.

Larus about 42& of other radio stations were close in Finland and 60 miles near Estonia

@@susanna8612 the captains had a valid point. If a wave throws you into a ship, your body will likely be damaged, which makes you even harder to save. More helicopters would've been excellent. Three helicopters responding is already quite a response, but as many as they could get there within 3 hours would've saved even more people. The ships on scene saved saved 34 people combined, and helicopters saved 104. Each additional helicopter could've saved 20-30 people.

Zyphera blame the Swedish military

Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss, I lost someone on there too.. My dearest brother. 😢

lol what? Blame the people that constructed the boat if anything. The visor got struck with a hard wave and opened it self, meaning that water from the ocean filled the floors with parked cars. How is that Swedish military fault? Swedish, Finnish and the other boats with different nationalities tried to save as many as they could with the coast guard of Finland and Sweden.

This comment made me emotional. I think you are 100% correct on the matter. As Finnish person who has lived in Sweden, now in Finland, I too am proud of our neighboring countries.

Very kind words. vi älskar er okså (except in icehockey championships)

I think the radio transmission has been edited. There is no way that they can arrive on the site in less than 10 minutes.

Ohh yes, There are several cuts! The time between Estonia's first mayday and the arrival of Mariella is about 50 minutes. The mayday went out at 01:22 circa- Mariella arrived about 02:12

Kiitos, käre bror. When it comes to icehockey there is no mercy. Unless we (a highly unlikely scenario, I know) we're already out. Then Finland is my team of choice.

DanTheMemeMan thats why people died

mostafa alb No, that's why people survived. Most passengers did not even make it out of the sinking ship, since it was flipped to the side. The corridors leading on deck were now deep, vertical shafts, the staircases were lying horizonally. Only fit people, who managed to climb out of there within a few minutes had a chance. That is why most survivors were sporty young men. None of the children or elder people on board survived, and hardly any women. They just went down with the ship, which sank very rapidly. Nobody could have saved them.

Well, if the frigging captain had called for Mayday earlier before sh*t escalated, maybe they would have a chance, but since he is probably is dead, I will refrain from calling him a second-degree murderer.

Well... They did travel with higher speed than usual, but not much faster than the other ferries. But, from the bridge they did not have visual contact with the bow visor and couldn't see the damage. A crewman was sent to investigate and a monitor showed splashes of water, but was facing 90 degress away from the bow and didn't show the actual opening. By that time it was already too late. The two lists happened very fast and I have to say that there was nothing that could've been done in time. Mariella was an hour away when the mayday went out, at most they would've saved 10 minutes. 10 minutes that would'nt have changed anything.

goodjob? They died

My dad is better sailor than ur dad. He can also kick ur dads ass.

Lucky the Mariella was 9 miles away and running hard that direction. Those were cold temps. 9 miles must have seemed like forever while responding.

I do not know where they breed these kind of Captain. Finns are supposed to be calm and cool in facing disaster, but his low voice and calmness gives hope to the salvation project. True professionals.

Congrats to europa cap

Take it cool, breath, slow down, take contact, follow it through, take charge, give everyone their jobs. Keep in contact and ready to show were help is needed, for the helicopters, if they can come. I went to Finnish captain school, never on those.

Well he wasn't on a sinking ship in the middle of dark rough seas, so he had no reason not to be calm.

@@borisjohnson2606 people still get easily stressed out in situations like this, when the shit hits the fan. That's why e.g. air traffic controllers need such an intensive training. People start to panic if they are in charge and do stupid things.

Dammm that was sad

Given what happened there’s actually quite a bit of conspiracy theories. Mainly that the ship was carrying weapons (Sweden isn’t exactly known to deal with the best people when it comes to selling arms). The government admitted that it used to carry weapons but it didn’t this time. All of that has been put down hard by official investigation though and the site was declared a grave at sea. So none of the bodies were recovered instead covered up in cement.

@@hassetjifrebro8222 what do you mean by covered in cement

Maximilian Lagerholm actually the cementing was stopped quite quickly - But it’s still very... uncomfortable that smith tak b.v. Was involved - being a company that is specialized in disarming and getting back radioactive stuff from water and seas. And then those trucks that entered the ship right before departure. And then the most cruel part - the story of Kalev vatras“ - oh man I’m getting goosebumps just from thinking a out it o_o

Kuroneko Neko He meant concrete. Too many finnish people thinks concrete is cement in english.

Det var precis så vi började varje larmsamtal på radio till ryttmästaren när jag gjorde lumpen: "- Godmorgon fröken fänrik! Nånting har hänt. Eeh, vet du var jag är nånstans? - Utom skotthåll för mig, det är enda anledningen till att du ännu lever!"

Ei ne tienneet tuossa vaiheessa, sehän se vasta kammottavaa onkin. Onhan se varmasti ollut pelottavaa kaikille kun laiva kallistuu ja kaikki hälyttimet huutaa, mutta kukaan komentosillalla ei tiennyt että ne on uppoamassa ennen kuin tuon viimeisen soiton jälkeen. Se on mun mielestä yksi pahimmista jutuista koko tuossa onnettomuudessa. Onhan siellä nyt varmasti tajuttu että on tosi vakava tilanne, mutta jos ne olis tienneet tuon maydayn aikaan siitä niin kyllä ne olisivat maininneet. Joku kymmenen minsaa vikasta maydaysta ja laiva oli jo tukevasti meren pohjassa, suurin osa mukana olleista ihmisistä hukkuneina.

but most of them lost their lives.....

​@@SimsMoyalemphasis on saving the maximum amount of people possible

Actually they saved practically no one. Only helicopters were able to save people because of the weather and hours later. No one survived in water. And many died on life boats because they were full of water and it took hours to save anyone.

@@MultiJejje they did indeed not save a lot of people because the ship went down so fast, the water was cold and not a lot of people were able to get out of the shp. However, they worked perfectly together and thus create the optimum situation for a rescue. Sadly enough it was not to be, but that was no fault of theirs.

Yeah, I saw the radio traffic video when the captain was waiting for a taxi, and coast guard tried to order him back on the ship. What a fucking failure of a human being.

@@Alex-qu3uu Why would taking an irresponsible risk make him a coward? An idiot, yes, but certainly not a coward. And while it may have contributed, it wasn't the Captain's fault alone. There were design flaws in the ship, and also some damage and rust to the locks and hinges of the bow visor, which caused the sinking by breaking off in the stormy sea.

@@Alex-qu3uu How can it be the captains fault if the ship was constructed with a design flaw? He is a captain not an enginer

@@Alex-qu3uu NO Bow Visor should break off a Ship, no matter how "fast" the Ship was travelling. Captain could not prevent that from happening. He is blameless.

wait wasnt he the man in the documentary? cause i swear ive seen that picture before

@@flyingbarrel1949 I was just watching him in the documentary, he was the one who saw the alleged submarine beside the Estonia right before it capsized I think

That wasn't the captain. The guy on the radio was Third in Command. The captain survived for whatever reason and was seen in Sweden shortly after (there is even a video on RU-vid). It is believed that the captain had known what was going to happen.

@@SmithAlexUK The survived captain was Avo Piht, who was on Estonia as a passenger. The second captain who was on duty that night died.

Why sorry? Did you sink the ship?

@@SmithAlexUK there was 3 different guys on the radio on Estonia. Their names is in the comments under this video. They were all young. The first guy that can be heard was just a few years over 20.

@@imonoke7903 Yeah one of the worst modern day sinkings about 900 people died

P. Ricard Absolutely! I agree that the helping ships stayed highly professional and disciplined given the circumstances. However the mayday call from estonia was extremely unprofessional and given in a state of panic, all the other ships that responded to the mayday call had huge difficulties to find out what is going on because of the extremely unprofessional mayday call. Official investigation group criticised harshly on the mayday call and incompetent estonian crew .

Henry 203900 i mean, everyone would panic in such situations, imagine that you’re on a ship and it’s going to sink.

@@henrybaleno The ships sinking, the hulls fucked and thousands of liters of water is pouring in, in minutes, of course, they should have stayed calm, but they're human, of course they'll panic.

Jete-Miia Piiriste Of course you would panic but you have to stay absolutely calm when giving a mayday call so the other ships can clearly understand the situation and receive right information about the emergency. Accident investigation critized harshly on the estonia crew´s incompetence and professionalism and i agree fully with them. But yes they are humans and they will panic.

The unholy child of negativity Of course that is very life threatning situation when water is coming in and the ship is sinking but if your a competent and professional enough to drive a cruise ship then you should also know how to make and absolutely calm and official mayday call even when water is on the bridge, clearly estonia didn´t give a highly professional and competent mayday call given the circumstances and delayed the rescue operation by several minutes. Investigation group critized harshly on the estonian crew on their incompetence and unprofessionalism and i fully agree with them.

I didn't want to thumb up because it is sad, but it's informative and I was wondering about that. I wonder how his experience was. The distress in his voice is obvious; he knows better than anyone what is about to happen, and the ramifications. Everything start sliding at 30 degrees list/angle. His last messages were (assumedly) way past that point... And the "it looks bad" is so eerie.

Not everyone.

@@SebHaarfagre Probably, Tammes (who was the second voice heard from Estonia) couldn't believe what was happening. He's believed to have underestimated the list, probably because his brain couldn't comprehend what was happening - that is, the shop was sinking fast and that they had no chance of stopping it.

SebSk Eerie indeed, it gave me chills. The tone of his voice, and the alarms blaring in the background is simply horrifying. I liked the video, because it is a piece of history, but i completely understand your reasoning.

He stayed on the ship as it sank like guy on the titanic

Have you read the article of the survivors accounts? One person mentioned the doors in the corridor to the rooms fell open, if you fell into one of the open rooms while climbing out, you were dead. So terrifying.

Ofc the man was a finn

Atamv at some point the water and the pressure would have killed them so yeah I agree

Good point!

Atamv imagine it like all parts of your head hurting a lot especially the insides of your ears

Would probably just add to the horrible terror your mind is experiencing. Probably pitch dark, metal noices from the hull echoing trough the ship in a haunting way. Sounds of flowing, cold water. Fuck.

Atamv the military and government made them sink

It was all ment to go that way :)

I think we have the same friend

I love travelling alone, I would die there.

my mom saw the last departure due to the fact that she had arrived moments before

How didnt you know about this? It was kind of a big deal and still is since many people died due to one mistake that shouldn't have been made.. that makes it even more sad.. but hey! It's always great to learn new things, even if it's these things. 😁✌🏼

@@JennaOfficiaal There are incidents where even more People died which you dont know about

Bonnies Playground what mistake? That ship had a huge whole on its side. Its was sunk on purpose. It was said that the captain died but he was clearly seen on the news when survivors was taken back to land. It was some bull shot cover up and intended killing of people

@@JennaOfficiaal i found out about this from the video with the transcription of titanic's distress messages. ive never heard about that ship, i was born two years later and in my country (poland) no one talked about it on the news after I was born (at least not that i remember). so yeah. there are even more tragedies than you think, that people still dont know about, but its good that were finding out about them, because now we can pay respects learn more about the victims and the tragedy itself.

He was doing an amazing job. Sounded very much in control, definitely helps to have someone like that.

I'm Finnish. When I was a kid and a teenager (I was ten when this disaster happened) we used to go on a cruise with Viking Line or Silja Line every other year or so. After this incident my father refused any other ship than Silja Europa. Silja's boats are bigger, newer and made with better quality he stated. Once I remember there was an announcement and it was the captain speaking. He said something about a delay in the schedule. I noticed my father glancing out the windows and it was a beautiful summer day. My stepmother asked him why he got so tense and he answered that it's nothing, that we are in good hands. A little later my father asked a crew member about it and the reason to the delay was apparently a small boat that was in the way and we couldn't pass it safely. My father is a very calm kind of person and he was in a high position at his workplace so he has quite a lot of people looking up to him. I have not forgotten his comment about us being in good hands the second he recognised the captain's voice. It sure is calming, even in this situation.

There's no such thing as a radio operator anymore. It was the ships officer, the one who's in charge of navigating the ship. The captain is the guy with the deeper voice.

@@TheKeisari I guess he meant the first officer to respond to Estonia's mayday call.

I think this recording was made on Europa.

Me to

Even though it was a horrible tragedy, listening to this isn't scary in my opinion because of how calmly and professionally these guys take it.

I went there, it was really sad and heartbreaking to see that

there is also a memorial in my hometown of Norrköping Sweden, I believe over 100 elderly that was on an organized cruise perished. alot of people of my age lost their grandparents this night, we were 7 years old

Also in Stockholm at Djurgården. I visited Tallinn with a friend as my first trip abroad without parents in my late teens. Beautiful city. We went by the memorial as well. So tragic..

Estonia looks like airbus in France

I visited the Estonia memorial in Pärnu.

I might be mistaken but I think this recording was made on Silja Europa. It sounds like he is speaking on multiple channels. That's probably why Silja Europa is in every conversation, with that clear sound. The others might speaking on different channels as well but that won't be recorded if it's recorded on Silja Europa. All tho Silja Europa did end up taking command of the whole rescue operation.

I’d say the Estonia’s captain was the one who deserves the most respect. Everything was falling into shambles around him and he kept his calm even though this would be his end. Puhka rahus.

@@lendavkanguru1803 i don't think the one sending the distress message was Estonia's captain. I believe it was a second officer.

@@lendavkanguru1803 nevertheless not abandoning the ship and it's passengers at the first sign of trouble is a very respectable thing. The guy sending the mayday was a hero, think about the shock he must've been in.

@@hyljix And even more of the "almost everyone" would have died without them.

@@DruidEnjoyer the list was already incredibly bad before any lights could have gone off that people couldn't climb up the stairs. If you didn't immediately leave you had no hope after only a few minutes. So if the lights went off earlier it would have no effect, everyone was already trapped

I do think the mechanics were amazing, vary brave, and helped keep the power on so that other ships could get the Estonia’s coordinates, many people has already died from being rocked back and forth. The hallways of the ship became elevator shafts and many people died from just falling trying to get to the stairs. Many people in that ship just gave up on survival and sat in a corner hugging their children, waiting for death. 😔

Well honorable that hes trying to get help rather than panicking and trying to escape

they couldnt jump out and swim?

@@randomrazr they had duties to fulfill. Had they abandoned the bridge when they had the chance, they would've never given Estonia's coordinates and everyone would've drowned and froze. Also, when the water pressure was enough to break the bridge's windows, they only had seconds to react before the entire bridge went below the waterline.

I've read an interview somewhere about this, and they thought that it was just MS Estonia overreacting. The crew of MS Estonia were inexperienced and had behaved rather stupidly in the past, so you're right, the shock in his voice is really something. It would have been unthinkable for them for a ship to simply sink, though the same thing actually happened a year early with a Polish ship Jan Heweliusz.

This is basic human decency. Companies are irrelevant in a state of emergency.

@@imonoke7903 and still you take your time to address it? Fucking idiot.

There are some of them who should be RIU (Rest In Unpeace) considering they were too busy robbing the passengers that got out on deck to survive the sinking...

852? I thought 200-300 died. Still, a terrible loss

@@CMDRSweeper ... For the love of all that is holy, please tell me this isn't true. What kind of a person would rob someone while the ship is sinking??

@The unholy child of negativity Some Swedish survivors said it was some Estonians doing that. Apparently some people (some men obviously, to sound like a bitter feminist) were taking life vests from other people on deck, allegedly, and I know some Estonians would probably blame Russians. I don't know how many Russians were really onboard that ship though. But that's not uncommon, the blame game. Truth is there are bad people of all nationalities. Estonians had it rougher in general than Swedes though because of the Soviet Union and were probably better prepared (mentally) for a giant fuck up.

Youngest who survived was 12 year old norway boy... There acutally just made 4 episode tv show in estiona about estonia ship ITS called '' Ma Pääsesin Estonia Katastroofist"

Sam All because the front broke off.

Eetu Palo On kyllä todella pelottavaa ja surullista kuunneltavaa ja tuntuu uskomattomalta että nämä vieläkin operoivat risteilijät oli pelastustöissä.

Eetu Palo i'm traveling from Sweden to Estonia and back 4 times a year and every time i'm on the ship, I try to go outside on deck at night and think about all the people who lost their lives that night! That is so heartbreaking!

Must be quite of an astonishing experience to challenge a storm regardless of circumstances and going towards a vessel in emergency and putting your own life/lives of passengers at risk at the same time. Sounds like a true oath of musketeers.

Can you imagine the descisionmaking of the captains of Mariella and Europa? I know for a fact that Mariella's captain hade to be called awake, and he arrived on the bridge barefeet. The radio operator on Europa actually says that he just woke the skipper, so Esa was probably sleeping to. They both get the mayday and just have minutes to decide what to do with their vessels. At this point they had no idea what had happened to Estonia. Im amazed by the courage of these crews.

Just imagine how horrible it is to look out seeing people in the stromy waters and you know you cannot deploy crew in life boats to save anyone because of the weather. Only thing you can do is to throw rafts and stuff in the water in the hopes that some of the people will be able to save themselves and some others and then wait for the helicopters that are still about half an hour away. And you have even no idea yet that majority simply went down with the ship.

I've always been ok with stormy weather on passenger ships, though no 'seaman' by any means. And would had survived Estonia also.

"And would had survived Estonia also." Yeah, sure. I heard survivors tell about a lone guy on a raft just taken by the wind and blowing away in the dark. In a situation like that it's not much you can do, and if you're in the water too long it doesn't matter how tough you think you are because you're gonna freeze to death. Surviving situations like these you need to be driven, but you also need some luck.

Well, he could've sent the mayday earlier, before it listed 20 degrees. And started the evacuation before the list was too much for the lifeboats to be hoisted. And he could've kept track of his position and told everybody about it when he sent the mayday. The scandal here is all about the ineptitude of seamanship and rescue!

@@bjorntorlarsson "sent the mayday earlier, before it listed 20 degrees" 12:59 AM, a large wave crashed into the visor, the Captain is NOT in the bridge, he is on the way to his cabin 1:10 AM, Hannes Kadak, a junior engineer, saw water flooding the Car Deck through the monitor in the Engine Control Room 1:15 AM. Before the chief engineer could contact the bridge, the visor finally detached. at this point the ship already listing 20 degrees, alarm blaring, passengers in panic and chaos ensued, Captain Andresson was back on the bridge apx 1:21 AM, the engines stalled, leaving Estonia at the mercy of the wind and waves. The ship was now listing 30 degrees 1:22 AM, a desperate second officer began sending out distress calls 1:30 AM, Estonia sent another message to Silja Europa. The blackout had ended By now, Estonia's list had reached 60 degrees. Minutes later, Estonia rolled onto her side. Her interior now became a death pit, and many passengers fell through the windows to their deaths By 1:45 AM, the ship was upside down and sinking rapidly by the stern At 1:50 AM, 35 minutes after the visor fell off, Estonia hit the bottom of the Baltic Sea Mind you this is all happen at midnight, where most of the passengers and crew is asleep, and the ship listing 20 degrees in 5 minutes

​@@paulvuurens5088 So from one second to the next, the ship suddenly listed 20 degrees. So you mean to say that the proper action then is to send a mayday without giving the position!? "- Mayday mayday, help help, I don't know where I am, do you know where I am? I think I am at 22, but I don't know whether it is east or north, degrees or minutes, or the time of day. Help help." Ridiculously incompetent! Drunk sailor.

@@bjorntorlarsson @Björn Larsson i somewhat agree with the late mayday and with no proper position, maybe they are panicked or insufficient training or drunk or maybe all of the above as for the listing, the ship is not "Suddenly" listed but "Already" listing The ship was fully loaded, and was listing slightly to starboard because of poor cargo distribution and the ship listing even more because the sea was rough that night, 6 meters waves with a wind of 15 to 20 metres per second. the "bow visor" that got hit by waves and separated from the ship located in front of the ship, but because of flaw in ship design, it is impossible to see directly from the bridge. Thats why they only checking the indicator lights for the ramp and visor-showed no problems, so they assume, that the list is because of bad weather, and they tried altering course to portside. so the ship bow/front facing directly against the waves & wind. They have a wide open bow visor, estimated speed 14 to 15 knots, already listing to starboard side, facing directly against 6 meters waves.

@@bjorntorlarsson you couldn’t launch lifeboats there was a storm

You're right.

If im not wrong it wasnt stuff falling it was crew members.

That's fuckin crazy

@@swen6390 The ship probably would have been at a 60-70 degree list at that point. Water was about to reach the bridge.

Yeah, Europa did the basic obvious necessary thing on the radio. Perhaps. But overall the radio communication was awfully mismanaged!

​@perpetual eye I wasn't the overpaid responsible officer on site who played clown over the sound power when 852 died! So who is the piece of shit here?

@perpetual eye He is just a angry nationalistic troll who hates everything except the criminal politicians belonging to his party.....they are always excused by these tiny brain men..

He did an excellent job handling the on-scene communication. Certainly, it could have been more by the book. But it didn't need to be more by the book. Effective communication is identified by all parties involved clearly understanding the messages conveyed. That was clearly the case here. I've heard a lot of on scene communications in real emergencies and I can say that this is an absolutely positive example.

@@BalticLab Agreed. I would struggle to do half as well as they did.
