American journalist Christopher Bollin argues that the US government may be partially involved in the death of the Estonia and the disappearance of people who escaped from the ferry.

Bollin, who married the widow of the singer Urmas Alender, Helie Kaskel, who died on the "Estonia", largely shares the position of the German journalist Jutta Rabe. Having exposed more than one lie of the US government in recent years, Bollin is trying to find confirmation of the theory that in the fall of 1994, high-tech weapons or space equipment was transported to the United States on the Estonia. Since obstacles arose during the transaction, the ferry was sent to the bottom, and the most important witnesses were "neutralized", writes Eesti Päevaleht.Bollin's theory is supported by an investigation in Sweden and the recently confirmed fact that on September 28, two small planes landed at the Arlanda airfield, took nine nameless passengers on board and disappeared in an unknown direction. According to Bollin, the US government paid for the flights.

In an interview with Päevaleht, Bollin said that there is evidence pointing to US involvement in the Estonia disaster.

According to one theory, nine key witnesses, including Captain Picht, were taken away in American-owned planes from the Arlanda airfield. According to Bollin, only one of the aircraft was registered in the United States, while the other belonged to the Bermuda-based company LARMAG, owned by Swede Lars-Erik Magnusson.

Bollin considers it likely that Captain Fir is still alive. “There are all kinds of ‘witness protection programs’ whereby people go missing, live under a different name to hide what they are doing,” he said. that's why he was kidnapped, and the people who knew he was alive also disappeared."

Bollin refers to documents according to which Avo Pikhta was interrogated by high-ranking Swedish officials immediately after the disaster. "Obviously, immediately after that, it was decided to remove it, and the disappearances began. It is impossible that 12 Estonian names were included in the initial lists of those saved by chance. Such disappearances were staged by the tyrants of the Soviet Union and South America," he said.

Bollin believes that the death of "Estonia" as an unsolved crime attracts the attention of people on both sides of the ocean. “I am sure that one day it will be said who and under what circumstances caused the death of Estonia, and this will be recognized as an international crime,” he says.
