Palermo, Sicily – A 50-meter luxury yacht, the "Bayesian," met a tragic end early Monday morning when it was capsized by a violent tornado off the coast of Sicily. The vessel, known for its opulent features and exclusive clientele, was carrying 22 people, including British tech billionaire Mike Lynch.
The sudden and powerful storm caught the yacht and its passengers off guard. Despite the yacht's advanced safety features, it was unable to withstand the force of the tornado. As the vessel began to sink, a heroic mother managed to save her infant child by jumping overboard and swimming to safety.
The Italian Coast Guard launched an immediate search and rescue operation, but challenging sea conditions have hampered efforts to locate the missing passengers. The body of the yacht's chef has been recovered.
Lynch, often referred to as the "British Bill Gates," was among the high-profile individuals aboard the Bayesian. His disappearance has sparked international attention and concern.
The Bayesian, a Perini Navi-built yacht, was renowned for its sleek design and luxurious amenities. It was a popular choice for those seeking exclusive and unforgettable yachting experiences in the Mediterranean.
The sinking of the Bayesian serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of the sea, even for the most advanced vessels. As the search for the missing passengers continues, the yachting community mourns the loss of life and the destruction of a magnificent vessel.
