Anything can happen at sea

Like the Titanic the super yacht Bayesian that sank off the coast of Sicily in a freak weather event on August 19 was virtually unsinkable. But it sank and seven passengers perished including the technology entrepreneur Mike Lynch, and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah. His wife Angela Bacares, who owned Bayesian, and the yacht’s skipper and his crew of two survived as did 11 other guests.

The skipper and his crew are under investigation in case there is sufficient evidence to charge them with manslaughter.
