Margus Kurm says : "They probably think that I have had no right to investigate the sinking, but only to investigate the shipwreck itself. This is legal nit-picking, however. In order to analyze a shipwreck report, it is also necessary to understand how the shipwreck itself came to be. I am a private person; the title 'investigator' is given to me by journalists,"

Margus Kurm said ( about Swedish ) : "They made two originals, one went to the company and the other to the Swedish Maritime Administration.
