Shocking reports from an investigation have confirmed details about the sinking of a Bayesian superyacht off the coast of Sicily, which was not caused by a storm as suspected from the start.
The 56-meter Bayliner sank off the coast of the Italian island on 19th August, killing seven people, including British billionaire and tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter.
Prosecutors in Italy have now found that a storm was not to blame for this incident, as per findings shared by other local media outlets.
The weather on the day of this incident amounted to little more than a squall, a sudden rise in wind speed that precedes thunderstorms and downpours, which should have been manageable for a crew of a ship.
Preliminary findings go as far as to suggest that this yacht is thought to have sunk due to improper actions on the part of the crew of this boat and their underestimation of the weather, with certain safety devices not getting activated in the right manner.
