The Bayesian, a 56-metre long sailing boat, was carrying 22 people, including British tech tycoon Mike Lynch and his teenage daughter Hannah, when it was struck by a severe storm and sank off the coast of Sicily. The storm, which caused waterspouts, capsized the yacht around 5:00 AM local time, resulting in the deaths of at least five people. Fifteen people escaped before the yacht went down, including Lynch's wife, Angela Bacares, who owned the boat. The six missing people, including Lynch, his daughter Hannah, Morgan Stanley International chairman Jonathan Bloomer, and Clifford Chance partner Chris Morvillo, were initially reported missing, but the search efforts have since found four bodies, including two that were recovered from the wreckage and brought to land. The identities of the victims were not immediately given by the authorities, but it was later confirmed that Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter were among the dead. Divers have found a fifth body inside the yacht, and one person remains missing. The incident is believed to have been caused by a tornado or waterspout that hit the vessel.

    1. Our thoughts are with all those affected, in particular the Bloomer family, as we all wait for further news from this terrible situation.
    1. We don't know which it was because it all happened in the dark in the early hours of the morning, so we have no photographs.
    1. Our utmost priority is providing support to the family.
    1. But if it had, then that would reduce the amount of stability that the vessel had, and therefore made it easier for it to roll over on its side.
    1. Looking at the extreme weather, if it was a water spout, which it appears to be, it's what I would class as a black swan event.
