A. New Evidence

1. The AgnEf Seminar on 29/30.05.2000 in Stockholm

1.2.3 The bottom plating of the visor (recovery damage) - Page 1

“These pictures are from a video ‘visiri’ recorded by the Finnish authorities on the 18th of October 1994 (9). This video is also a documentation of some of the damages found on the visor standing on the seabed. The visor was found standing upside down with its entire gunwale free from the seabed. The only parts of the visor that had sunk into the mud were the visor arms and the housing for the ramp.

The recovery plan was to lower a yoke down to the visor and then ‘catch’ the visor with hooks on the yoke.

To make this presentation a bit shorter than our report, I will go directly to the damages after the visor was recovered, and compare them with the damages before the recovery. Those of you who will not believe me, I recommend you to read our full report. I do understand that it can be hard to believe that the JAIC virtually must have been blind in their efforts to prove their early and only scenario.

But still, this is pure fact and the evidence is from the JAIC’s own video material.

Note: Reference will be made to this video in Chapter 3 hereof in connection with the explanation of the damaged frames at the port inside of the ramp house.
