Porque afundou o Bayesian tão depressa?

By Phil Bainbridge

August 23, 2024 - Os procuradores que investigam o afundamento do superiate “Bayesian” abriram um inquérito sobre naufrágio doloso e homicídio por negligência considerando uma nova teoria meteorológica.

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 a fierce storm, now believed to be a downburst, in which winds plummet down from a storm cloud and spread unpredictably outwards on hitting the surface, at speeds of up to 150km/h. Several aircraft are known to have be downed by a freak event of this kind, which usually last just minutes.

Seven people, including British tech magnate Mike Lynch and his daughter Hannah, were killed when it capsized.

Investigators are looking at how the vessel filled with water and sank so quickly and suspect a critical hatch somewhere on the vessel was left open. One such lead is the apparently missing tender vessel, a pleasure craft usually boarded by the guests from the stern door, which may have been left open. The retractable keel was also found to have been partially raised, decreasing the yacht’s stability.
