“Lynch, who was acquitted in June in a big U.S. fraud trial, was among the six people who remain unaccounted for after their chartered sailboat sank off Porticello, when a tornado over the water known as a waterspout struck the area overnight, said Salvo Cocina of Sicily’s civil protection agency.“ …anyway…

    It had a crew of 10 people and 12 passengers, the Italian coast guard said. A sudden fierce storm had battered the area overnight, and struck the place precisely where the 56-meter (184-foot) British-flagged Bayesian had been moored.

    Holy fuck he named his ship the Bayesian? Peak bazinga nerd bazinga absolute uncritical support to comrade freak storm.

    I'm not a boat expert, but that mast height for the size of the boat looks very capsizeable

    That depends on the ballast, but the greatest danger is that all the winches on those big boats are electric, meaning that if something breaks the sail(s) get(s) stuck and the best case is you get rescued and lose the ship. A booj problem to have indeed

    Or they attempted a backflip and it went wrong

    a tornado at night is functionally invisible, especially if it’s rain-wrapped and there are no arcs from breaking power lines. At best you can glimpse it in brief flashes when lightning silhouettes the funnel, like something out of a horror movie.
