{"product_id":"9781934074213","title":"Flashes in the Night: The Sinking of the Estonia","description":"Flashes in the Night captures the tragic story of the sinking of M\/S Estonia in dark, cold Baltic waters on September 28, 1994. Caught in a storm during an overnight trip between Tallinn, Estonia, and Stockholm, Sweden, the ship sank in a matter of minutes. Debate continues over whether the cause was structural or sabotage, but the fact remains 852 souls were lost at sea in Europe's worst civilian disaster. Nearly one-third of those who escaped the ship died of hypothermia.\u003cp\u003eA twenty-nine-year-old Swedish entrepreneur and a pretty nineteen-year-old Swedish girl are a major focus of this dramatic account. On that night when Kent Harstedt met Sara Hedrenius on the top rail of the sinking ship, they made a date for dinner in Stockholm-if they survived. Through that endless darkness, huddled in near-freezing water in their raft, they told each other jokes to stay awake and alive. Their date made world headlines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is their story, and the story of the young British adventurer Paul Barney, along with riveting accounts of others who were a part of this harrowing life-or-death survival epic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Apprentice House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49786669596912,"sku":"9781934074213","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781934074213","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
