Bow failure caused 1994 Estonia ferry disaster

A big ferry called the MV Estonia sank in the Baltic Sea on September 28, 1994.

It was a very sad event, and 852 people lost their lives.

For a long time, people thought the ferry might have sunk because of an explosion or a collision with something else.

But after many investigations, experts from Estonia, Sweden, and Finland found out that the ferry sank because the front part, called the bow, broke and let water rush in.

They also found that the holes in the ferry's body were caused by rocks on the bottom of the sea.

The investigators said there was no sign of a collision or an explosion.

This report was made to finally explain what happened and close the case.
