Read MoreCollapse
On 27 September 1994, the car ferry Estonia departed from the Estonian capital of Tallin at 19.00 with 989 people on board heading for Stockholm. She never arrived. Six hours into the stormy crossing, the 15,000 ton ship sent out a desperate Mayday call. 28-minutes later, she had sunk to the bottom of the Baltic Sea, claiming the lives of 852 passengers and crew. It was Europe's worst post-war maritime disaster.

About This Guide
This episode guide brings together the episode runtime, synopsis, series context, and nearby episode navigation for Zero Hour. That gives readers and search engines a clearer relationship between the episode and the parent series instead of treating the page as an isolated record.
Editorial Take
The Sinking of the Estonia is presented as an episode-level guide that still keeps the parent series context visible, which is important because isolated episode pages can otherwise feel detached and thin. This episode sits at position 19 out of 26, so the page can answer both the runtime question and the progress question at the same time. The 1h runtime is especially useful here because episode search intent is often much more time-sensitive than general series search intent.
