http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/date ... 542093.stm Today is the anniversary of that tragic accident. I remember i was in Spain at that time and since all the newspapers were in spanish we guessed that something had gone terribly wrong, i mean why else would there be a estonian ship on the front page. |

Sucks. 
By-the-by, I wouldn't really be too surprised at an Estonian ship sinking anywhere...not because Estonian ships/seamen are crap, but because a good part of the international fleet sails under the Estonian flag for tax reasons.  Or Panama, Gibraltar, and so on.

oh man, I read the topic title and was like, someone is Ms. Estonia and there were 900 contestants that lost.  Too freakin' early, I guess.
Sorry about the drownings. |

Bad shit. It's good to have a reminder of the not so distant tragedies. |
