CCTV video appears to show the moment the 'Bayesian' yacht disappears as it capsizes in Palermo, Italy.
Newly released video captures a luxury superyacht being battered by a violent storm before it suddenly sank off the coast of Sicily with 22 people aboard Monday. The grainy images obtained by NBC News and other outlets were recorded on closed-circuit television not far from where the Bayesian was anchored, about a half-mile from the port of Porticello, on Sicily’s northern coast.
“The fear is that the bodies got trapped inside the vessel,” Salvatore Cocina, head of civil protection in Sicily, told Reuters. The Bayesian is owned by a firm linked to Lynch’s wife, Angela Bacares, who was one of the 15 people rescued Monday after the vessel suddenly capsized. “It’s extremely rare for a boat of this size to sink,” Richter said. What’s not rare is the kind of storm that sank the vessel, said Simon Boxall, senior lecturer in oceanography at Britain’s University of Southampton.
