852 people lost their lives when the car-ferry MS Estonia sank.
I can't remember that. So I Googled it...
'On the evening of September 27, 1994, the cruise ferry MS Estonia left Tallinn, Estonia, destined for Stockholm, Sweden across the Baltic Sea, a trip of 14 – 15 hours. As Estonia's largest ship, it symbolized their recent independence from Russia. On board were 989 passengers and crew-- 803 passengers (mostly Swedes) and 186 crew (mostly Estonians). It was fully loaded with vehicles and cargo, so much so that it listed slightly due to poor cargo distribution. The Estonia headed off into near-gale conditions with 40 mph winds whipping up waves nearly 20 feet high.'
Sad day indeed.....
