Busca por desaparecidos de iate afundado ao largo da Sicília
August 20, 2024 - As equipas de busca e salvamento procuram seis desaparecidos após um dos maiores superiates à vela do mundo ter sido atingido por uma violenta tempestade e se ter afundado ao largo da Sicília.
The search is challenging due to the furniture that has been dislodged and is blocking access to the cabins
The British-flagged Bayesian, a 56-metre-long superyacht, was carrying 22 people and anchored off the port of Porticello when it was hit by the fierce storm.
Fifteen people escaped before it capsized and the body of one person who died was swiftly recovered.
That left six passengers unaccounted for – British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter, Morgan Stanley International chairman Jonathan Bloomer, Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo, and their two wives.
