The sinking of the luxury yacht Bayesian off Sicily, which carried British billionaire Mike Lynch and 21 others, is under inquiry. Witnesses report a tornado-like waterspout formed during a violent storm.
Waterspouts are columns of spinning air, akin to tornadoes over water. Some develop in fair weather, but others, known as tornadic waterspouts, can arise from thunderstorms, posing significant danger.
Fifteen people aboard the yacht survived after escaping to a raft and were rescued by a nearby cruise ship. However, six remain missing, including Mike Lynch and his daughter.
As investigators examine the yacht's sinking, the discovery of the cook's body raises concerns about the safety of those on board, with the incident highlighting the dangers of severe maritime weather.
