The Scandinavian Star Disaster | A Short Documentary | Fascinating Horror

On the 7th of April, 1990, the MS Scandinavian Star – a passenger and vehicle ferry – was on its way from Oslo in Norway to Frederikshavn in Denmark, when a fire began on board. At the time, the ship carried 395 passengers and 97 crew. Approximately one third of the people on board would not live to see the morning… an extremely high death toll which, it was found, could be attributed in large part to the dilapidated and ill-maintained state of the ship.
