a long time but it's your beautiful ship indeed to finals and the ship is served to all for your. people came in droves to take a look at the night he moved as she sat more just outside the marine passenger terminal the lawyer was generally claimed as one of the most impressive and comfortable ships cruising on the black sea yes i used to share a small flat with my parents and it was a cheerless drab existence when i was a child i got to the name of ship for many times and life became magical. it was an enormous and beautiful line it with many restaurants and go to start off. all the interior of the ship was made out of a very expensive karelian would say even the grand piano. these people never met although they lived in the same city but they might have met

a quarter of a century ago igor tellus and a friend decided to go on a cruise of the black sea during the nine hundred eighty six summer holidays their ambition was to sail aboard the net humor of the most prestigious laureano of the day of the tickets were hard to get back to. getting it ticket was like a miracle for the lucky ones. my mother got hold of some tickets she was working at a regional administration for tourism. ephron do mine was to go with me. but she couldn't because she had to study for you so i had to come alone. the excitement of passengers looking at the snow white line was short lived in a vat for a to to soon as they boarded the ship and looked around what will move i found that for all her external glamour it was a rotten place inside. the future passengers clamoring for

a ticket on the moon that he moved to no idea that the ship would be scrapped after that she was already more than sixty years old the ship was originally constructed in germany in one nine hundred twenty five it was formerly known as the berlin for some time the line operated transatlantic routes later she was converted into a cruiser during the second world war the nazis used her as a military hospital ship. from poland signed can one hundred forty five ultra torpedo attack and she hit a mine. into the soviet military a great deal of effort to raise the berlin. she was sent to the u.s.s.r. where she was refitted and renamed the admiral next email although the line was already in a state of great decayed nine hundred eighty six the crew was still trying their

best to maintain her status as the most comfortable cruiser. solo in a boasted a cinema to swimming pools a restaurant and several bottles each annoyed the ship band played for the passengers. but. the weather was just fine least of all tourists were strolling along the streets of nova receipts. joining showings of all there were no telltale signs that the ship might be in trouble later on. you. remember we sailed from. ten pm a quote. as soon as. he radioed the port traffic supervisor. to report the situation. he was told that only one. was about to enter the port. in accordance with the rules the next. clear of the free but they made an exception.

of the steamship line and so the freighter was ordered to give way to the passenger liner. captain mcauliffe went to his cabin leaving his assistant to. see it when they tell you don't shoot the way from the pier me and my female friends looked at the bulb and wanton she said if we see a woman though i will never be able to survive and i looked and said but i will. meanwhile he began to feel nervous that the freight it was headed directly for the law but made no change of speed or course. the captain of the pier. came with the freight it was going to give way to the. captain to change of the peel to reassure his opposite number by saying that two ships would pass clear of each other however to go also gave no change speed course we should

be sore the distance between the two ships was shrinking. to the left at first he changed the ship's course by five degrees five degrees and finally ten degrees. as i turned my hand in i saw the fries as the combat zone right in front of me i realized then that twas about to ram into us during the race the captain of the offensive was looking at the radar display according to it his vessel in the passenger liner with paul's clear of each other in fifteen minutes past eleven one of his crew shouted to him that he saw an enormous ship heading for the fray took. immediate lee commanded full speed. but by then it was too late the heavy boat kariya was not responding to the wheel and was still heading for the night he moved at full speed. the fringes barreled through the starboard side of the passenger

leaving a deep pool schools of metres wide. it was the that's when the collision occurred everybody was sent crashing to the floor and then and all the dancers to feel. as the turning of the cliff hundreds of passengers were watching a movie in the ship's cinema. you know this pool from the projectionists room when the collision occurred everybody watched the movie i loved him more than life that the. early remember the scene where a tank runs down a soldier who sees a kid appeal a trick runs over it fast its head in a fountain oh blood a shoots out of his mother that's exactly what i felt an impact use for the kind that you get in a tram when the emergency brake just pulled. the situation was made even worse by

the fact that the bulkhead doors and cabin windows were open because of the heat and cold ventilation the deluge of water quickly flooded the ships. aircraft that time i was on the promenade deck careful with my fellow sailors and to make sure you know i would. when the deck suddenly swelled up. debris shot into the air and people started falling off. in one thousand nine hundred sixty serbin was only eighteen years old and he was the youngest crew member on board it was his maiden voyage. just as the ship was about to finish her service. i was at a loss i said for goodness sake dimitri what do we need to do now and then dimitris ordered to go to the cabin and batten down the windows quick. only a few meters away from the stern so i did just that with the lights had already

gone out. and william instantly sense that the ship was doomed. well we had just enough time to dump the sixteen life rafts not that we tried to do same on the port side but we only managed to drop one raft. to starboard almost too much each raft weighs one hundred eighty kilos. as seawater filled the. the ship listed heavily. three minutes later he was. told of the boat had forced those on board into one large mass or only a few people could stay in place by clinging onto something that bolted to. the. pileup of passengers came under attack from falling objects like their rows of

paint benches and the like. the people who. cheering the collision had no hope the angle of the boat made it impossible for them to scramble out of the guts of the cruiser. the ship's design made it hard even for sailors to get about as they were newcomers to say nothing of the passengers on top of that ship the ship had been plugged into darkness that they in fact also displaced bulkheads endorse. several hundred passengers crowded into the pool right six minutes after the collision it was clear that the water was the only salvation. after climbing onto the deck i heard a cracking sound or something to shift but i thought i'd read somewhere that the signals that the bulkheads are caving in under pressure. and that means the end of the story. you had to fulfill the law i decided that there was no more time to

tarrie i resolved to jump over the borders of god but it was received well then i saw that the list had already revealed the ship's underside. anyway i crouched down and began sliding towards the other side of the still wearing the white shoes that i had on for joining a performance. got the woodies he was still sliding down when i saw people setting as they show past the window and i saw it with my hair nice is the deal. but even if you abandon a sinking ship in good time this doesn't mean you are out of harm's way the sixteen lifer off stump by the sailors under the direction of the boat some were not enough only one out of three passengers had managed to put on the life jacket. the struggle for survival began around the sinking of law into one without rules or moral to booze.

culture is that so much i can tell you that it was one of your father's models there's the taliban bad guys we came we being in journalism or no pick organisation with an unmistakable sound with a question what is the difference between. a close up team has features. where russia first free elections were held a foundation years ago. now party goes to the area that used to be a place of exile since the seventeenth century. where businesses take advantage of the wild growing product. more rich academic life gives birth to innovate of idea come to the top screech watch a close up on r g. every year on the day of. the patrol boat visits the. vivid memories of how

before midnight he received an order urging him to get into his patrol boat and head to the site of the net he accident as quickly as possible. when i arrived at the scene. of the kind you see in a town as you look at it from a distance those lights from their live jackets. to arrive at the scene of the design. they began to. give their. side. so on i went over the rail and started taking people on this.

twenty minutes. in the continued. myself in the water i swam a short distance away from the ship suddenly i felt a weight pulling me down. around and saw a girl and i said to her look here if you want to stay alive all you need to do is hold onto me. not so i will side by side with the ship's doctor but when i saw he was about to drown a doctor he told me he couldn't swim and i don't and that was a big surprise there after all he was a grown man i took my life jacket off and put it on him. many of the passengers couldn't swim they tried to reach the roof. but the ones who go to the roof for the first pushed away any others trying to hold on to them. and i guess i approached

another girl and offered my help if you're on form i'm not there she was clean to a log. the call but. i pushed the log forward many times before i saw a raft with a crowd of people claim to have a go if you've ever worked and i say to the girl i'm going to push this log until we reach the raft and. we couldn't even approach it is more your but they keep this away commander get that you showed up some one and a half hours later you know they were pleasure boats but sporting green and red lights. they immediately set about taking people on board. everyone wishing to admire the town from the sea and take pictures on the board the steamer. timothy sidorov has been in the business of taking tourists for a short ride around. he knows an old ship the best part of his life and.

another life saving equipment can be found under the seats of two hundred. seven. don't know that in the early hours of september the first this ship captain. was taking passengers rescued from the to safety. everybody was silent they were in a state of shock no cries no moans no bus nothing of that kind. this pleasure was the last trying to spot ship. at four am it became obvious to them there was no hope of finding any more people. i spent sixteen days caring so-called packages. lifted to the surface by divers

it was such a horrible sight that i couldn't eat for the first three days but later became a matter of routine. scale of the catastrophe became evident on the morning of september the first an inventory of who had been rescued should more than four hundred people have died in the tragedy. on the same day their job was to retrieve dead bodies from the sunken ship. we were to work around the clock without brakes. divers from other fleets like the pacific fleet the baltic fleet. and there was also a group from the special forces. dave was in command of a rescue ship used as a platform for diving it was around the operation as soon as two dives emerged on

the surface. this is. similar was used by the pair of. them to do the job the other was a standby just in case any shoddy bodies were put on this platform three to five bodies at a time then they were taken on board. this is a boat and sign a rescue ship twenty one. of the few journalists allowed to cover the operation he's been several days with the divers and sailors retrieving dead bodies and saw how tough the work was. to begin with was lying on its side everything inside the ship was upside down. in the.

floor what used to be in the left hand wall was the ceiling and divers had to descend into that unimaginable hell. physical exam the only problem. difficult to cope with the job of retrieving dead bodies. or the ship had a glass promenade deck. caution entered it he saw eighteen dead bodies standing in . wrecked weatherhead sat out against the glass but he remembered to screw with alex a evacuated all of the eighteen lorries by taking each by the hand to lead them out and. move all of us myself included who had never seen such a mass of dead bodies before. there would be a pile of twenty five to thirty five bodies on the deck at a time or. pressing effect especially during the first week because leader

such emotions became joe. we had only one task to job done asfast as we could. deal resulted in two more deaths on top of those that had been claimed by the next. one of the dogs as it stayed underwater for too long eventually running out of oxygen the other became trapped inside the ship each time divers had to make their way through piles of furniture and broken politicians. who were. the diver by the name of shouted a call got bogged down after furniture paneling or something blocked the passage. the smoke got stuck in it. when he asked for help it was told to hold on until another diver came to his rescue when the words. when the diver reached him forty minutes later he was unconscious he didn't respond to questions all we heard

through the microphone was his breath. you could be a diver was holding up a ladder and out into the open he stopped breathing. it was obvious that he was dead. because the rescue operation came to an end we don't swallow the living for the dead was the verdict of the fleet. sixty four bodies was still inside the night he. an investigation underway into the of the two captains. to do one of the captains on september the first in the other on september the second. charges against him were formulated in accordance with the law. they were to be announced on september tenth and eleventh . second mate who was at the controls at the time of the collision

there and then captain mark over the law and captain took a chunk of the freighter with now the main defendant's. guilt was overwhelming he didn't want to give right of way to a passenger ship and refused to change course he also tried to cover up incriminating evidence of to the collision by removing pages from his log book. usually when the scale of the disaster was unclear and behavior was brazen he didn't admit his guilt. the crash occurred because he had suddenly changed course shouldn't have done it. after reading newspaper reports detailing the number of deaths including loss of life among children. completely. in the actions of both captains were

as criminal negligence and. sentenced to fifteen years in prison. i was happy to see the cheap when i was a child. head of the team of its foundation is a frequent visitor to this cemetery most of the crew members were born in this city . to serving on the ship for more than twenty years she died together with the vessel. as you left. i want you to know. that i'm missing here. my mother devoted ten years of her life to the foundation she created it from scratch i found in it with what little money she earned by doing on chumps. just before the twentieth anniversary she was to have surgery when she felt she was
