5 MORE BODIES RECOVERED IN THE RECENT RESCUE MISSION FROM SICILY YACHT DISASTER

On Thursday, 22nd Aug, 2024, the Italian divers managed to rescue 5 bodies, including the body of the Yacht owner, Mike Lynch, who is a renowned British Tech Entrepreneur. Out of 22 members on-board, when the Super Yacht was struck by an intense storm on Monday, 9 crew members and 5 passengers survived the ordeal. Besides Mike Lynch, there were other VIPs on-board who also didn’t survive the storm. Some of the names of the victims include Jonathan Bloomer, Chairman of Morgan Stanley International; his wife, Judy Bloomer; Christopher J. Morvillo, a lawyer at Clifford Chance; and his wife, Neda Morvillo.

The yacht was caught in a sudden downpour. Weather experts believe that strong winds and lightning had hit the area where the Yacht had been sailing at the time when tragedy struck. They added that the Yacht had most likely been struck by air generated within a thunderstorm descending rapidly or by a waterspout, which is similar to a tornado over water.

The luxury boat sat 165 feet off the port of Porticello, tilted by 90 degrees on the sea bottom. The bodies were found inside the cabins. Search operations will continue to find the rest of the missing people.
