L.Remstam@itdemokrati.nu

Why she sank?

Here are some options that the speculation in which I wanted to raise;
1. Arvo Andre Johansson, Captain of MS Estonia was driving too fast under

     the prevailing conditions, strong winds, heavy seas and bad bog visor.

     Why did A.A. drove the boat too fast?

a.  Stressed by the military.

b.  Wanted the passengers to come home on time.

c.  Thought it was fun to drive quickly.

 

2. Explosion on the boat.

3. Attack, reducing the ship.

4. Collided with another boat, military vessels has been monitoring the

    transportation, either for or against the stern.

Foreign Minister Carl Bildt.

When the tsunami occurred in 2004, the Swedish Government received harsh criticism because they were late in the documents.
"Several shortcomings were identified. The most serious was considered that the Cabinet Office did not have an organization to deal with major crises. The Commission also considered that the development was characterized by the absence of on-call and management structure to managerial level, and the Cabinet Office and its departments recently realized the extent of the disaster, not collecting all relevant information and found it difficult to coordinate actions".

MS Estonia sank 10 years earlier and then it seems that Carl Bildt was sitting in the center and ran the helicopters would fly to the scene, "air head-on."
Was it a chance that Carl Bildt was available on this night, or was there some other reason.

It may be the following:
1. There were secret military material on the M / S Estonia from the former

    Soviet.
2. That military material was solicited by, the United States or NATO, via

    Sweden.
3. The captain of M / S Estonia is the only one of the crew who knows what

    the cargo contains.
4. The captain is at high speed because he has time to fit, not in view of the

    passengers, but in view of the load, there are Military people standing and

    waiting to load in Sweden.
5. The load is so interesting that Carl Bildt is involved, he has direct contact

    with the military.
6. Trophy in the bow visor may have occurred after they hit a military base,

    military boat, which was responsible for overseeing the shipment.
7. The captain was unable for reasons of speed the Swedish military stressed

    him to keep time, not because the passengers would come home on time.

Carl Bildt writes on his blog.
"If a faster action by Swedish authorities had been able to save lives
remains - that we must honestly admit - an open question. But the impression
clearly mistake in the handling of this disaster has cast a long dark
shadows ". "Since then we have done what we could to improve the structures,
Systems and procedures ".

1. He means that all procedures had only fallen to 10 years?
2. Was it just a coincidence that he found out that M / S Estonia had sunk?
3. He had direct contact with the military when the delivery would take place?
