Rescue operations resume in Sicily for second day
ai generated text
A 56-meter British-flagged yacht, the Bayesian, sank off the coast of Sicily after being hit by a tornadic waterspout on Monday morning. The incident occurred about a kilometer off Ponticello, with 15 people rescued from the water, including a mother who saved her 1-year-old baby. One man, identified as the yacht's chef, was recovered dead from the water. A rescue mission is ongoing to search for six missing individuals who are believed to be trapped in the yacht's cabins. The incident occurred before dawn on Monday, with the yacht capsizing due to the severe weather conditions. The rescue efforts have resumed for the second day, with a helicopter and divers deployed at the scene.
My heart, and I'm sure that of the whole country, goes out to them. We will do whatever we can practically to help in this very difficult and heartbreaking situation.
We are deeply shocked and saddened by this tragic event. Our thoughts are with all those affected, in particular our chair, Jonathan Bloomer, and his wife, Judy, who are among the missing, and with their family as they await further news from this terrible situation.
They said they went flat on the water and were sunk in two minutes.
We managed to keep the ship in position and after the storm was over, we noticed that the ship behind us was gone.
If the mast had been broken they wouldn't have capsized.
They don't talk much, primarily because they consider themselves survivors and they don't understand why they survived given what they went through.
