Had it been out at sea it would have floated upside down for as long as five days, as with the MS Jan Heweliusz. Do you see why the Herald of Free Enterprise didn't reach the stage of what happened next after it capsized? Let me know if you still don't get it.

It sank in just a few minutes because of flooding through the open bow. to do that enough water must have been taken aboard to destabilise then sink the ship otherwise it would still have been afloat.

Have you actually ever read the report in to the sinking, or even any description of the events?

Thread continued from here.
