Out of 22 people on the yacht, 7 died. 1 crew and 6 passengers, including a billionaire who was just sued by HP.

Crew survival rate: 90%
Passenger survival rate: 50%

The British billionaire who died just got cleared in a criminal trial of fraud, but HP was suing him for 4 billions in a civil trial. His codefendant died a few days earlier in a car accident.

Note to myself: never mess with Hewlett-Packard.
 
This news is attracting far too much attention.

Something very fishy.

Yachts are rather stable, strong, of high quality (and very expensive), and definitely , it was not overloaded.
 
It's a weird coincidence, that they both died of accidents... but randomness sometime is so weird.
The driver in question is a 49yrs old woman who stayed at the scene in UK.

And there was a storm in Sicily, in extreme heat that caused a tornado.

The question is, why did it sink... Witness say it sank in about a minute.

The seamen and locals involved in the rescue, are speculating that doors and hatches on the yacht were left open overnight because of the heat, that the tornado tilted it, one said the mast bent/broke, anyway... It might have filled with water fast and down it went, without chances of repositioning itself straight and drain the water.
 
Dear @BlueWaterSailor , what do you think about the Bayesian sinking?

As a boat that size hit by a tornado while anchored.. doors and hatches open during a storm?

My friend who used to sail says "that wasn't a sailing boat or a yacht, that was a ship! And it takes a lot of effort and skills to sink a ship like that, although I didn't follow the story..."
 
For fun only:

"It's a surreally coincidental chain of events, tbf:
  1. Lynch and his co-defendant Stephen Chamberlain only had a projected 0.5% chance of beating their fraud case, but somehow did.

  2. A month later Chamberlain gets run over and killed.

  3. Two days after that Lynch's yacht sinks, killing both him and the lawyer who won his case along with members of their families.

  4. Finally the name of the yacht was 'Bayesian' - which just happens to be the name of a mathematical theory designed to take a test result and relate it to the conditional probability of that test result given other related events."
