I believe the diver saw the remains of Captain Andersen, He followed the rule of the sea and went down with her, all the other bridge crew had already left.

@SteveLLW I thought I saw ribs on that body? Only the head seemed preserved? I know it makes people wonder about others like me, who are inquisitive about bodies lol. I worked in a cemetery so this is nothing to me! I'd like to know why the bodies where not returned to they're families for burial? Cost perhaps? Although if all who dove on this wreck since 94 would have retrived a body or bones, I'd think the wreck would be cleaned out of human matter by now, except in inexcessable places.

Guess its standard procedure to clear debris from the window before entering. it's probably not the body as much as the netting that he is trying to remove. Also, the thing giving it away as being a body is the cloud of decaying biological matter. If it isn't some other animal gotten wound up in there then it's most likely human

@Beethovenvirus - been hidden when in reality it would not have been. I think they will never be satisfied because those kind of people never are. The important thing is getting it raised so that people can have some sense of closure. We spend millions on digs in Europe and the subsequent genetic research to determine which bone belongs to who. They have a moral responsibility to do the same. I asked a local rep if the Spirit would be raised if it sank and he said 'without a doubt'

@Beethovenvirus I wonder if they will raise it one day. I think that a future govrnment will. I do believe that it sank for the reason suggested and think that if anything the only reason there is a delay is to hide what is sitting in the cargo deck. I was at maritime college after this sinking and I remember engineers on staff saying that it would not cost anywhere near what Sweden and Estonia said it would cost. Problem with raising it is that CT will just believe that the smoking gun has -

@Realfoxhawk Well it says that there is only half a body on the bridge so i guess thats the one. Btw, just have a look at 3:15 min.

@goodfella1904 Is that an upside down head with the 'mouth' really being one eye socket? In one shot for a split second you seem to almost see a hole beside it. If he did move it by it's hair it must have had nothing below it. I have heard that the heads of decaying bodies in the water frequent break away from their bodies.

@vonVince then what the fuck was that the diver pulled out of the bridge?
From 1:25 and onwards there is a severed head of crewmate in netting, that's why the diver freaks out a bit. See for youselves, goddamnit.

I agree that it appears to have been a body. I must say that it looked remarkbly well-preserved. I mean; what was this: 7 years after the sinking? Don't be too critical of the diver. He's 300 feet down, breathing an oxygen-helium mix in an exotic diving suit, crawling in a shipwreck on its side, in pitch black dark, except for his own light then, HELLO! - a face with a horrified look floats out of the darkness right up to him.
