I had no idea who Mike Lynch is until this report. Most interesting what I read on Wikipedia about the extradition to US and the criminal trial in June 2024. His co-defendant happened to died being hit by a car while out jogging only days before this sinking. He was found not guilty on all charges by the jury.
2 Defendants on 1 case - are deleted within 1 day of each other by accident, surely there must be an explanation ? am I the only person thinking like this ?
@@Walley28no it's obvious, just because there was a storm it doesn't mean the yacht couldn't have been sabotaged too. 1 dies ok but 2 within a few days, it's just brazen.
@@Paul-wt7woyeah accidents do happen all the time but they seem to happen a whole lot more when you annoy elites/ government. Do you believe the Wagner dude just had a tragic air crash ?
@@Louisdegalfilla7 And why did he hire Epstein's lawyer, because he was the best for very decent law abiding citizens? And his CFO is serving five years in the prison.
The metal mast was too high for the water tornado. That is why is capsized and sank so fast instead the Dutch sailing boat in front was ok. This is what experts are saying in Italy
It's Sicily. It's August. It's hot. Sure, they probably have air condition in such a ship, but you never know how many portholes were open that should heve been closed in bad weather. Would not be the first ship to fall victim to laying over due to high winds and taking water through open portholes. Of course, that thing looked top-heavy to begin with...
@@johnmurphy7316 I just said that, an investigation into the involvement of Supernatural Forces has to be investigated - The Church and individuals from the Occult should be summoned to get to the root of this terrible tragedy, No I am Not Joking if that's what you think.

@@rickyrickman5458"deleted" as you describe it and then his co defendant dies 2 days later in his yacht. Incidentally why didn't Mr Lynch postpone the celebrations knowing that his fellow defendant had been killed by a car a few days before.
@@applejuicejunkie316 sure but the person that killed the partner was a 49 year old house wife and stayed at the scene and helped with police so probably not a assassin
Great respect for the rescuers who risked their lives in bad weather to save people from the sea before the pros from the coast guard arrived. No doubt, without them, the death toll would be much higher. On a side note, how rich do you have to be in order to have the British authorities send an investigative team? Would that also happen for a private vessel carrying normal people like you and me who don't drink tea with the prime minister?
I don't think it's a question of how rich the passengers were or that they were British. It was a yacht that sailed under the British flag so Britain is responsible for the investigation.
Yes the rescuers are true heroes. Good question. It's the same with royalties or such when something happens, almost the whole country's resources are sent, when we, plain and normal people get in similar situations, if we are lucky, an ambulance is sent...So much for people's equality.
@@anniezion They sent a team of 4 people and it's standard for accidents involving British vessels for the MAIB to investigate. Sure there's inequality in the world but you're barking up the wrong tree here.
@@cichlisuite2Nah, I am talking in general when these things happen to so called famous or extremely rich people. I have no insight in how many that were sent to this particular tragedy, but I can assure you, the handling of it all, (I am not just talking about the team from the UK)the searching is definitely extended, than if it was "Paul 53, a clerk from the countryside, on vacation" that was missing.
We dont care BBC, this isnt front page news... its a couple people missing / dying in a boat mishap. Just because he was rich doesnt mean he should get more attention than the rest of us.
So many people celebrating his death because of his wealth. Imagine if this story was about looks and not wealth. People saying he got what he deserved because he was better looking than you. How catty and petty would that sound?
@user-qb1sm3rk9r It definitely would, thats probably why no one says it.. But to say that peoples dislike of the mega rich and powerful in todays world is akin to jealousy of attractive people?? I didnt think anyone was that dumb to be honest..
to be honest, I live in Palermo and a "yellow weather alert" had been issued for Sunday. Obviously the weather was even worse than a simple yellow alert, but the bad weather wasn't entirely unexpected

Particularly sad, in that he defeated the non-reciprocal extradition deal with the US, which needs urgently to be rescinded, and also that he spectacularly won his case against Hewlett Packard, who were obviously trying it on. A local tragedy to those who knew him locally in Suffolk and so sad that his 18 year-old daughter seems also to have been lost. R.I.P.
With sails CLOSED, there is no way a waterspot can tilt and capsize such a heave yacht since a long mast brings with it a super heavy keel. And even if you capsize, a yacht would not sink and/or take a log time to sink. These waterspots are dagerous but not lethal - it is the huge energy of the lightening that comes with them that is lethal ie can be deadly - if the earth of the mast deteriorated and failed for some reason. If lightening hits a mast directly and the earthing circuit fails - you know what happens? It burns a hole right through the boat all along the mast from deck to keel. I have seen a lightening strike that passed through a wire feeding a fax machine - which burned a hole right through an 9 inch STONE WALL ! Also the fact that 15 managed to go on deck and jump into a life raft means that the boat did not capsize. Also I have a feelig that these waterspots (which arise when cold air moves across bodies of water and result in large temperature differences between the warm water and the overriding cold air) were so huge that they tured into tornadoes. Toradoes are a differet story alltogether. It will take a log time before we, the public, will know what was the core of this sinking.
Knocked down by a waterspout...Likely went over with many portholes and doors open. Instant flooding, rapid sinking. Money and tech don't matter,when the ocean,weather and simple physics take over...
In such cases, in order to counteract the strong effect of the wind and not drift, the engines are started and the bow is turned against the wind. They endured a storm/small tornado for exactly 16 minutes. Most likely, the ship (boats longer than 24 meters are called ships) turned around itself approximately 180° and the ship's propeller got tangled in the anchor chain. Therefore, structural damage occurred in the aft area where the garage and engine room are located, causing a large leak, the ship started taking in water at this point. Perhaps the bulb keel also broke and a 56-meter ship sank in 60 seconds. Nothing happened to the Dutch flagged ship that was about 200 meters next to it. Strong ships of this type can only be sunk by submarine torpedoes.
Sure, let's all focus on the billionaire, who has an unethical amount of money that he will never need, while it's sitting there and benefitting nobody.
It is very bad luck to change the name of any boat. Bayesium used to be called Salute and changed name in 2014. There are so many tales to be told of fates of boats whose name was changed... just Google them. Renaming a boat is considered bad luck, due to deep-rooted superstitions among sailors. Changing a boat's name is believed to anger the sea gods and bring misfortune to the vessel. To avoid bad luck, sailors perform renaming ceremonies to appease the gods and ensure safe voyages. There are so many superstitions related to water, boating and ships in general. One of the most well-known ones relates to the naming of a vessel.
Imagine if these were Russian … But NO … it was obviously pure coincidence… The mathematics of his co defendant also dying in Cambridge sends it OFF THE SCALE !
I’m only here for the comments. I’ve seen reports of this elsewhere. Many are lapping it up, delighting in the fatalities because it’s a super yacht. I was expecting nothing different from the BBC faithful. I’m not disappointed.
What would happen if they deny the British team and send in an Italian team seeing as it's in italy and why is england trying to supersede someone else's authority.......😂😂😂
I think you'll find they work together. It was a British yacht so the MAIB will investigate it to try and improve the future safety of British vessels.
I hope he pays extra for the carbon tax…. What an environmental disaster. These rich people think it’s acceptable to live on floating castles for leisure.. while the rest of us starve & struggled to live! This is Gods doing…
You can't predict a waterspout any more than a tornado. Having said that, the boat was overly top heavy with the retractable keel up and thus even more top heavy. Add to that open portholes and probably the hatches down from the top deck because it was very hot. With that mast and a waterspout attacking at the right spot, the boat is turned on its side with the mast flat on the water within seconds and no way it would come back again. Another minute or two until enough water has entered through the openings that should heve been closed, and the boat turns into a coffin on the seafloor. Sometimes it's that simple. The German sail ship Sir Robert right next to it was lucky or probably also handled better since the captain is also the owner and does not have to answer the whims of a rich billionaire like the other skipper. Not equipped with an absurdly tall mast but rigged as a classical two mast schooner, I bet it was much more seaworthy than this rich man's toy. Alas, it was the boat undamaged by the weather and hence capable of rescuing the people who made it in time before the yacht sunk.
I was very sad to hear this news, it was very painful news, Mike Lynch should have been alive with his daughter, using the facilities they had in life and enjoying it.😢
Experts say that the Bayesisn had a single very tall aluminum mast (75 meters) . Probably the tallest aluminium mast in the world which can be dangerous in those wheater conditions as it takes wind at a great height and has an enormous resistance to wind.
yes, physics 101 - and 'hedonism' boats have many open companion ways near the then submerged bullwarks/gunnels , and lets add a very light (dangerously) keel to get 'flashy' sailing speeds.
@@questionreality6003Then you would know he is talking nonsense. The broken mast lowers the centre of gravity making it less likely to capsize and the pressure on a mast is greatest when the sails are set not when they are down.
@@billbogg3857 Once the mast is broken, the boat pitches and rolls much more vigorously: without the mast and sails to dampen these movements, the hull tends to react more freely to the stresses of the wind and waves.
@@cr4957 The lower the mast the less the stresses so with a broken mast…..What it could do is smash a hole in the hull which is why a sailing yacht should always carry bolt cutters to cut away the rigging
@@billbogg3857 I'm not an expert, but I know it's more complicated than that. I know that boats have a natural roll rate (stiffness) determined by several parameters such as metacentric height. When a boat is damaged by changing its normal geometry and weight distribution, under certain circumstances, a feedback loop can be started depending on how much damping is in the system because the energy becomes additive. This could cause a capsize. But I'd be happy if some expert could shed some light
@@questionreality6003you can sabotage a boat though. I wouldn't even think it if it was just him but his co defendant getting killed a couple of days prior. You think that's normal ?
@@questionreality6003 Yet you still see a hoard of clueless conspiracy folk come out of the woodwork because they don't understand that coincidences happen and common sense is apparently rarer than you'd expect.
In the picture just before she sank of the super yacht, it shows an older sailing ship anchored very close by, yet the super yacht sank, and the old wooden sailboat didn’t. The super yacht was over valued on how safe it was in rough weather.
It's not an old wooden ship, it's a 40 m steel ship built in the late 1950s in East Germany and converted from a tug/icebreaker into a sailing ship after the model of the Baltimore clippers in Lemmer/Netherlands in the 1990s. They offer sailing and diving cruises, and the German owner is the ship master. Hence, they don't have to obey the whims of some eccentric billionaire like the crew of that luxury "boat". While certainly a robust ship, I bet they had secured the ship and were prepared for the weather while the other ship had its retractable keel in the upper position and probably had a lot of portholes and the hatches to the lower decks open. Under such conditions, a sudden waterspout can push the overly huge mast down onto the sea and the water will be pouring into the turned-on-its-side hull like a tsunami. As a side effect, against the inflow of water, nobody inside the hull will have had much of a chance to get out, not to speak of the fact that the whole deck layout is turned on its side and it's almost impossible to navigate that labyrinth. Probably, much of that desaster would have been avoidable if the handling of the ship had followed higher standards where safety comes before convenience. The sea does not forgive errors. It's hard to tell this to those rich megalomaniacs who think they are the masters of the universe. If the captain was one of those yes-men hired for their attitude rather than their skills, it was an accident waiting to happen.
@@mogon721 The survivors said they had less than 5 minutes to abandon the ship when she was knocked down. The Bayesian was a “Party Superyacht” and had wide wrap-around windows and sliding doors. At the base of the huge mast there was a forward party lounge. The forward party lounge was enclosed by glass walls and a door leading out to the weather deck, but only had a canvas covering around the base of the mast as a roof. Once the Bayesian was knocked down the seawater must have ripped the canvas covering the forward lounge and poured tons of seawater per second into the interior of the ship sinking her in minutes.
@@reecom9884 You're missing the point. The lounge was part of the OUTSIDE. It doesn`t matter whether the canvas blew away, it was nothing but a sun protection over an open stretch of deck. And regarding the windows on the side of the second deck, you can be sure that it takes more than a water spout to break them. A monster wave does this kind of things, when hundreds of tons of weight are pounding the surface of the hull, but there was none in that night. What the lounge was, though, was a massive pool-sized bowl with little capacity of being drained quickly, except for the doors leading into the ship. Once water was in that bowl, it would add many tons of weight to the top of the structure. Combine that with the overly large mast and the retracted keel, and this might have been a large factor in the capsizing. And I'm talking about the water dropped there by the water spout, not by a wave or by the sea. And I tell you, the more I hear and read about this, the more I am convinced that this ship was wide open to the sea when it was turned on its side by the wind. Not only were the lounge doors open but probably a lot of port holes and other doors. If you anchor off the coast, EVERYTHING must be closed and secured. In a harbor, you can open what you like, but as soon as you are out of the harbor, close everything. The CEO of the shipbuilder gave an interview last night. Of course, this has to be read with a grain of salt, but much of what he said made much sense. He blames the crew for not securing the ship against bad weather and for having doors open. And it makes sense. The ship could only sink that fast when there were massive openings, i.e. open doors like that of the lounge or the ones in the aft section leading to the stern which you can see on the fotos of the yacht. Even being turned on its side, it should never have sunk that quickly if at all. It was a party boat, in that you are right. Discipline and safety amongst those entitled megalomaniacs was hard to enforce. Especially by a hired captain who was at the whims of those rich people and who probably would not risk his job by angering his boss. Hence, the ship was not secured for bad weather, and the dire consequences did follow. The CEO talked about some interesting details of the incident. First, the mast lights went out, leaving only the battery powered top light on. Which means that the control boards and the power supply were probably hit by a massive inflow of water (before the boat even turned to its side!). The only source of such water at that point would be the water spout. And the way inside would be the open lounge doors. Also, from the AIS data, the ship drifted in the 12 or so minutes before it sank. Meaning it was not properly anchored. Now, given that the divers say the keel was partially lowered, this paints the image of a boat that was not under control, and it would appear that the crew acted much too late. They tried lowering the keel, but since power went out, that failed. The doors were wide open, the water spout poured massive amounts of water inside even before it pushed that massive mast without its necessary counter-weight down onto the sea. And with all the unsecured openings, the hull was being flooded very quickly when this happened. This was a preventable accident. As so often, hubris and recklessness lead to death and destruction. Properly handled, this ship should still be afloat, even if you consider things like the lounge design as flawed.
@@mogon721 “…I have the weather charts in front of me here…start the engines and pull up the anchor or release it automatically, put the bow to the wind and lower the keel…He believes the yacht would have "went down" after water "started to enter" within "six minutes."

The manufacturer called that yacht "unsinkable". History tells us how well PR like that goes over with reality. Ironic too, given they were celebrating being let off for fraud charges at the time. Maybe they offended someone the sky spirits or something.
Phallic megalomania. It can never be enough. Imagine Elonovich Muskvich or his best friend Orangey the Loser had a boat like that. The mast would be twice as tall. You know what somebody tries to compensate when you see their mast...
How can 10 crew members miss the upcoming tornado? Why are so many trapped in there cabin? The answer sure must be alcohol. The where all pissed out of their minds
Around the super yacht there were several fishing boats and smaller ships that did not suffer any damage. We are talking about one of the largest yachts in the world, costing millions of dollars, practically unsinkable. This is clearly a murder with weapons that we, mere mortals, cannot even imagine. Climate change and the creation of storms have been within the reach of governments for several years, as well as directed energy weapons. The same thing happened, again in Italy, on the exclusive Lake Maggiore. Where 10 secret agents of the Mossad died, again on a boat, always in the same way. Who are the instigators is difficult to say. Italy is clearly involved, but we are talking about Russia, and a struggle between bankers and governments. Surely such blatant murders are a clear threat to other powerful people. The world dynamics are changing, it is a period of strong international tensions.
