Last week, the documentary "Estonia - the find that changes everything" came out on Dplay.
According to the Accident Investigation Board, which investigated the accident in the 1990s, it was the ship's bow visor that came loose, which led to the car tires being quickly filled with water.
A new documentary shows pictures of a previously undiscovered hole in the sunken ship Estonia.

But new images in the documentary show a previously undiscovered hole in the side of the hull.
The hole is four meters long but has not been investigated by the Accident Investigation Board in the 90s because it was then hidden towards the bottom.
Over time, the wreck has moved and the hole has been exposed.
According to the film team, the Accident Investigation Board was also deficient and went against the survivors' own testimonies.
"Completely degraded"
Now the Christian Democrats and the Sweden Democrats want new dives to be carried out at the wreck to investigate the accident and to rescue the dead.
That there will be political reactions was expected, according to director Henrik Evertsson.
Even those who were worst affected by the disaster have reacted and contacted the film team.
- I have been completely humiliated by relatives and survivors and others who are involved in this matter.
They think this is a very important documentary that puts the Estonia disaster in a new light.
"There was a big concern"
Henrik Evertsson says that the documentary is in many ways about the people who got involved in the issue of Estonia.
- When we started working on this series, we contacted people who have been involved and raised questions about this.
What we saw quite clearly was that there is a great deal of concern out in the country if we really have all the answers on the table about what happened that night.
This documentary is in a way their story, for many of the relatives and survivors felt that they had never been heard of in 26 years.
