Summary: *Issued by Liina*Okay, first of all - yes the challenge name is the same as my homecountry, but still there isn't much of a connection. I don't know how much people here know about the tragical night on Baltic Sea, the date was 28th September in 1994. A cruise ferry named MS Estonia sank that night, 852 people died, including one of my family friend's wife and kid. It was tragical. MS Estonia was on it's way from Tallinn to Stockholm.
Well, the sinking is simple - it took about an hour maybe and then it was gone. Most of the people who died were inside the ferry, because it happeande sometime in night between 1 am and 2 am. But what's not so simple are the conspiracy theories. There are many - and I believe that there were arms shipped to Sweden on that boat. I believe it. There is also the thing that some people were reported to be alive at first, but then their names were crossed from the living list. No bodies, nothing. One of them was the captain of the ship. There were also twins and those twins parents have got some calles, no-body speaks and it seems to be coming from far, but they have got some strange calls. Maybe their daughters are calling ??
This year 17 years passes and there are still some mysteries about that sinking. About that stormy night. And just to be told, it's the deadliest shipwreck of Baltic Sea, during the peacetime and also one of the biggest of 20th century. Still, it's unknown to most people in the world.
here is wkipedia page about that ship, read more if you want to.
Okay, that was introduction. Your challenge is to write a story about Estonia ( The ferry ) . The team or a member of the team has to be on the boat.
Is it Tony taking a trip in Europe ??
Is it Ziva doing the arms delievery to Sweden ??
Maybe Gibbs and Ducky decided to go on a holiday ??
Or is it Kate doing protection detail of someone famous on the boat ??
Perhaps the team just went on a holiday and happened to be on a sinking ferry ??
There are many possibilities. You can use some of the ideas I mentioned, but feel free to write of anything - there just has to be a ferry named Estonia, it has to sink, the date is 28th September, but the boat left port on 27th September - if you wanna play with dates.
