MS Estonia Sinking 1994 - Accident Analysis

Reconstruction of MS Estonia sinking accident
Theory: MS Estonia Collision with a Submarine Coming up, the gravity of the bow visor.
The anchor winch on M/S Estonia's starboard side is torn away by the hydraulic arm of the bow visor.
Parts from the anchor winch on the starboard side of M/S Estonia found in the bow visor cowl.
Does the bow visor float or not? Yes, it floats.
The bent metal on the bow visor. The bow visor was hang on the boat railing on starboard side.

The divers forgot to pick up the Pentyl stub, which remained in the bow. Why is the stubby thread sitting there?

I don't believe it either, but there is no other way the accident could have happened!

M/S Estonia drove into a submarine that was ahead at a slower speed. The dent on the bow visor fits perfectly onto a submarine tower: dimensions, indentation and periscope.
MS Estonia hole in the hull
Here there are holes in M/S Estonia's hull. The U-boat has struck off M/S Estonia's stabilizer fin on the starboard side.

It is impossible that the round shaped bulb has made this one the damage, this is one straight object that has done this damage. This is like a fingerprint, there's only one object that fits the dent.
MS Estonia hits a submarine
I've been thinking for a long time about where the holes come from, and this is the final.
  1. MS Estonia is soon to catch up with the submarine.
  2. Here M/S Estonia meets the stern of the submarine.
  3. The U-boat begins to twist around its center axis.
  4. The U-boat tower hits the bow visor.
  5. The U-boat straightens up.
There is no other explanation for the dent in the bow visor. In u mode, the submarine has no buoyancy, it has the same density as water, the submarine pushes away as much cubic meters of water as it weighs in tons. If the submarine weighs 1,000 tons, it pushes aside 1,000 cubic meters water, otherwise it floats or it sinks and then it is used unnecessary energy to keep it in u position, the top speed will be lower.
