Survivors of a storm that sank a superyacht off the coast of Sicily recounted their ordeal to one of the doctors who rushed to their aid, with some saying it took mere minutes for the 180ft vessel to go down. Dr Fabio Genco, head of the Palermo Emergency Medical Services, told NBC News on Thursday he arrived in the seaside village of Porticello before dawn Monday, about an hour after the $40 million Bayesian sank in the violent and sudden storm.
Among those who survived is Angela Bacares, the wife of British tech mogul Mike Lynch whose body was recovered Thursday. Another survivor has been identified as Charlotte Emsley, 35. She told the Italian news agency ANSA she had momentarily lost hold of her one-year-old daughter, Sofia, in the water but managed to retrieve her and hold her above the waves until a lifeboat inflated and they were pulled to safety.
