The Bayesian, carrying 22 passengers, sank off the coast of Sicily early on Monday morning after being struck by a powerful type of wind called a downburst.

Seven people died, including the British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah. Fifteen people survived, including Lynch’s wife, whose company owned the Bayesian, and the yacht’s captain..

Ambrogio Cartosio, the head of the prosecutor’s office in Termini Imerese, said in a press conference at the town’s court on Saturday that his office has opened an initial investigation into manslaughter and negligent shipwreck.

What about this from the Guardian? malaise Aug 2024 #19

I don't think they will have much of a case EX500rider Aug 2024 #20

Italians now think a powerful downburst may be the reason...and the boat does have a Black Box they think EX500rider Aug 2024 #11

Seems like a small crew for that sized sailing vessel but I was on a school ship, we were no doubt overstaffed EX500rider Aug 2024 #37

Saloon doors may've opened -- design flaw. Kid Berwyn Aug 2024 #23

From what i just read on BBC the keel was in the up position EX500rider Aug 2024 #24

Thank you for the heads-up! Found some video... Kid Berwyn Aug 2024 #25

Thanks for this malaise Aug 2024 #28

Someone commented on a youtube video that its possible it was anchored both fore and aft, thus preventing swinging Blues Heron Aug 2024 #29

yeah if she couldn't swing the keel definitely should have been down, plus they should have slacked or raised the stern EX500rider Aug 2024 #31

this reminds me of the El Faro disaster, although not anchored, it lost engines, steerage and ended up being pushed over Blues Heron Aug 2024 #34
