" The first Finnish rescue helicopter didn't arrive on the scene about 40 miles off the coast until an hour and 40 minutes after the first distress call.

Its crew was met by a heart-stopping sight - hundreds of life vests, many of them empty but some holding up the dead, and dozens of rafts, some overturned, tossing about in the waves as their reflectors blinked in the blackness.

"It felt like you were in the middle of a movie set. We asked ourselves: 'Is this real? Is this even possible?'" recalled Matti Rytkonen, a rescue helicopter pilot."
