Hole discovered in hull of Baltic ferry that sank killing 852

Sweden, Finland and Estonia to jointly assess new information on 1994 sinking of MS Estonia

Nordic leaders have announced that they will examine evidence from a new television documentary that could shatter the official explanation of how 852 people died in a 1994 ferry sinking in the Baltic Sea.

The makers of the five-part documentary series, which was released for streaming on Monday, claimed to have found a hitherto unrecorded four-metre hole in the hull of the MS Estonia.
