When no conspiracy is needed

Something I don’t think requires a conspiracy is the Estonia disaster.  On the 28th of September 1994 the ferry Estonia sank in the Baltic Sea.  At least 852 people died in connection with this.  Some seem to have trouble coming to terms with that could happen without anyone wanting it.  But things happen all the time without anyone wanting it.  Large tragedies don’t differ from everyday occurrences.  This particular one I think was caused by weather and human error.

The ferry Estonia had been built to go between Sweden and Finland.  The sea between these countries is full of islands and islets.  This makes the sea there relatively calm which the ferry was built for.  In 1993 it was put into traffic between Sweden and Estonia.  (This is why it is named so.)  Between these there is a long stretch where the sea is open.  The night the accident happened it passed this area in a storm.  Moreover, the bow visor was damaged and should not have passed.  That the ferry was allowed to leave harbour was due to human error.

The sunken ferry now lies on the Baltic Sea’s bottom.  There is a large hole along one of the wreck’s sides.  This hole has been presented as evidence of there having been an explosion.  However, at closer examination it turned out to match a rock on the sea-bottom.  The rock is just beside the hole.  So I think the hole formed when the ferry hit the sea-bottom.  Had there been an explosion the vesicles on board would have been turned over.  They are still in the same direction as they were originally parked.

Had there been a conspiracy it would have been revealed by now.  Not through its effects as some apparently believe.  But by people coming forward telling they were part of it.  They would then have handed over insider information on it.  Say this accident was caused by something secret in the cargo.  If so the transport of this cargo would have been revealed.  People would have stated that something had been sent but not been delivered.  Them keeping completely silent about it for this long I don’t see as credible.
