The weather phenomenon that could have caused the sinking of a yacht with Mike Lynch

The recent sinking of the luxury yacht Bayesian off the coast of Sicily has drawn attention due to the mysterious circumstances surrounding it. The vessel, carrying British billionaire Mike Lynch and 21 others, faced a sudden and violent storm before succumbing to the waters.

Witnesses reported seeing a waterspout forming over the water during the storm, which raises the question of whether this weather phenomenon played a role in the incident. Waterspouts are known to be tornado-like columns of water that can form over bodies of water, and their unexpected appearance can create hazardous conditions for vessels. The presence of a waterspout in the area at the time of the sinking has prompted investigations into the potential impact it may have had on the yacht.

Casualties and Rescues

Out of the 22 people aboard the Bayesian, 15 managed to escape on a raft and were subsequently rescued by a passing cruise ship. However, the body of the ship's cook was recovered, and six individuals, including Mr. Lynch and his daughter Hannah, remain missing. This tragic outcome has sparked concerns and further investigations into the circumstances leading up to the sinking.
