The titanic efforts of the rescue crews continue. for the recovery of the last body from the wreck of the superyacht Bayesian off Porticello in Palermo, Sicily.
The information that stated that the body of Mike Lynch’s 18-year-old daughter was finally found in the superyacht that sank in Palermo, Sicily was finally not verified.
The difficulty of finding Hannah Lynch’s body
According to the people of the rescue teams in Italy, it will take a… glass ball in order to locate the body of 18-year-old Hannah Lynch.
Fire and Rescue Service spokesman Luca Carey told Sky News: “We would need a crystal ball to know when we’re going to be able to find the next body. It is very difficult to move through the debris. Moving a single meter can take up to 24 hours.”
By early morning, the body of her father, Mike Lynch, who had organized the yacht trip that proved fatal for seven people, had been recovered. Yesterday Wednesday (21.08.2024), the divers had recovered four bodies from the sunken boat and they were transferred to hospitals in Palermo.
In particular, they had recovered the body of the president of Morgan Stanley International Jonathan Blumer, Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo, and their two wives.
Of course, everyone is looking for the causes of the tragedy that led to the death of a total of seven people.
“This particular yacht is almost unsinkable”
At the same time, the company that built the boat is holding the crew members of the £30m superyacht Bayesian responsible for the wreck.
In his first public comment since the wreck, Italian Sea Group CEO Giovanni Constantino told SkyNews: “This was human error, the yacht sank because it took on water.”
Mr Constantino insisted it took 16 minutes from the time the wind picked up the boat and it started dragging its anchor before it finally sank, which should have given the crew enough time to warn passengers.
“The dynamics of the sinking can be seen and read from AIS (Automatic Identification System) data and it lasted 16 minutes,” he said. “We have given this data to the prosecutors at Termini Immerse. From the pictures it looks like the yacht took on water for four minutes. All it took was another gust of wind to tip it over, which meant more water was coming in. It then straightened briefly before sinking.”
“The list of human errors is long”
Mr Constantino told the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera that there was a long list of errors. “The stern was clearly open, the ship’s keel should have been lowered, people should not have been in their cabins and the crew should have known about the storm.”
He added that the tragedy could have been avoided, saying: “Ask yourself – why didn’t fishermen come out of Porticello that night? A fisherman reads the weather and a ship doesn’t? The storm was all over the weather reports. It could not have been ignored.”
Earlier, a spokesman for the company told MailOnline that “procedures were not followed” on the luxury yacht and the sinking was caused by the “portholes being open despite the bad weather that had been forecast hours earlier”.
The spokesman continued, saying: “The Bayesian was built to a very high standard and would not have sunk if proper procedures had been followed by the crew.
