Comments<br />
During the whole<br />
evening he was<br />
on Deck 4, 5 and<br />
6 in shops,<br />
restaurants and<br />
other facilities. He<br />
saw no <strong>of</strong>ficers/<br />
mates, but just<br />
one engine crew<br />
member and<br />
female crew<br />
members <strong>of</strong> the<br />
service, literally:<br />
"nobody with<br />
ribbons on his<br />
arms" - this was<br />
different to former<br />
voyages.<br />
saw down to<br />
corridor deck 4<br />
water coming from<br />
car deck<br />
2 blasts by fog<br />
horn<br />
did not hear any<br />
bangs, when ship<br />
heeled, ship<br />
turned completely<br />
upside down<br />
before sinking,<br />
finial sinking very<br />
fast, light <strong>of</strong>f 5 min<br />
after keel<br />
developed talked<br />
to crew member,<br />
was told <strong>of</strong> 50cm<br />
water on car deck<br />
Cabin: he entered<br />
ship, went two<br />
stairs upwards and<br />
turned to the aft for<br />
about. 40...50m -<br />
his cabin had no<br />
window, heard no<br />
explosions and<br />
smelled nothing<br />
unusual, didn’t see<br />
how the ferry sank,<br />
fog horn blasting<br />
for about a minute,<br />
travelled <strong>of</strong>ten with<br />
ferries and was<br />
seaman in his<br />
youth, maybe<br />
something was said<br />
by loudspeaker,<br />
later Mayday came<br />
by loudspeaker<br />
added something<br />
to his testimony:<br />
he thought that<br />
the crew <strong>of</strong> this<br />
vessel were<br />
amateurs, he had<br />
slept when heard<br />
the weird noise,<br />
he said, it was not<br />
possible to drive<br />
such a large<br />
vessel with a high<br />
velocity in such<br />
kind <strong>of</strong> weather<br />
heard no<br />
explosion, bangs
