Search Continues for Missing Passengers of Sinking Yacht

News summary

British tech tycoon Mike Lynch and five others are feared dead after their luxury yacht, Bayesian, sank following a tornado off the coast of Sicily. While 15 of the 22 passengers were rescued, Lynch, his daughter Hannah, and four others remain missing, with officials believing they are trapped inside the vessel, which sank rapidly. Italian coastguard representative Vincenzo Zagarola stated that search efforts are ongoing but have yielded no results so far, suggesting the missing individuals may not have had time to escape. Experts have noted that if air pockets exist inside the hull, there may still be a slim chance of survival, but the critical window for rescue is quickly closing. The yacht sank during a storm around 5am local time, and divers face significant challenges due to limited underwater time and depth. Tragically, one body has already been recovered at the scene, adding to the somber nature of the ongoing search.
