Rescue Efforts Intensify for Missing Yacht Passengers

Rescue efforts are intensifying to locate six people, including British tech magnate Mike Lynch, missing after the luxury yacht 'Bayesian' sank off the coast of Sicily. The yacht was struck by a waterspout and capsized early Monday, leaving it 50 meters underwater, a depth requiring specialized diving precautions. Divers face significant challenges, including limited time underwater and blocked access to below-deck cabins, where the missing are presumed to be trapped. Experts hope air pockets may have formed inside the vessel, providing a slim chance for survival. The six missing individuals include Lynch, his daughter Hannah, attorney Christopher Morvillo, and Morgan Stanley chairman Jonathan Bloomer. While the families hold out hope, the next 24 hours are deemed critical for any potential rescue.
