The sinking of MS Estonia: Case Reopened Part VII

OK. You claim that the JAIC said that the Estonia "floated on its superstructure", "floated on a 90° list", or even "was functioning on a 90° list". Please quote the passage or passages where they said this, and provide precise citations for them. You have so far failed to do this.
Can't be done. Those claims are flippant. And anyone can do flippancy.
 
Yes, someone on a chat list knows better than someone who was Head of the JAIC with access to primary sources and a member of the Estonian Government Working Party and visited the site in person. Got it.

The head of the JAIC etc have not voiced any opinion on whether you are performing a fringe reset. Not so far as I have seen anyway. Everyone actually reading this can see it though.
 
It's merely an overwhelming probability that they did.

Just because the car was speeding, on an unlit country road, had no working headlights, hadn't been serviced or MOT'd for ten years, the driver was drunk, the tyres were bald and all the wheels were held on by one wheel nut each and those were loose doesn't prove that caused the accident. It might have been aliens.
 
The documents I referred you to earlier (1994, 1995). What do you think the JAIC was referring to?
The documents you referred to did not support your claim, even when you quoted one of them deceptively by omitting the second relevant paragraph.

Please quote the JAIC saying that the Estonia "floated on its superstructure", "floated on a 90° list", or even "was functioning on a 90° list", and provide a precise and accurate citation for the source, and if possible a link, so that we can check that you are not misrepresenting it.
 
A sinking with clear military precision:

  • communications down from 12:59 to 01:54
  • ship just reached international waters
  • Swedish midnight
  • Survivors feeling or hearing bangs and shudders
  • violent listing that failed to right it self after a couple of attempts
  • Third Captain having to use a hand held device to call MAYDAY (where was the Captain?), thanks to communications being down
  • EPIRBS failed to initiate
  • Swedish coastguards got their first information from a truck driver
  • Tammes' last MAYDAY 01:22 EET
  • Sillaste, Linde and True on a life raft - fully kitted out - before then
  • Sillaste and the two Estonian athletes confirm the bow ramp was closed
  • Treu and Sillaste confirm they were 'up to their knees in water' in the Engine Room deck 0.
  • Linde was seen skiving in the Empire Bar yet claimed he saw Capt Andresson going to the bridge.
  • From the moment the bow visor came loose to when the Estonia went off the radar/sonar it was a mere 35 MINUTES.
  • Communications resumed circa 12:54 Swedish end, when Helsinki Radio came through..
  • M/V Mariela and M/V Europa arrived at the scene to find nothing there.
  • The senior Estonian crew including Captain Piht mysteriously vanished.
  • US firm Rockwater went searching Piht's room for...a briefcase belonging to an Estonian/Russian arms dealer.

Ha ha ha!

As an ex member of the military that has bern involved in actual naval warfare I say you are full of ◊◊◊◊.

Any commander that came up with that load of bollocks as a plan would probably be demoted to Ward Room pot washer.
 
Speaking generically, calling something you don't understand or are not interested in, a 'conspiracy theory' is the lazy man's excuse to avoid thinking. It's far more honest to say, 'Sorry, not interested' or 'Sorry I don't understand the argument'.
When you have over 200 people with a wide variety of expertise say one thing, and a handful of cranks claiming it was something else - it's a conspiracy theory.
