What might have caused Sicily
yacht to sink
Specialist divers continue to search for six people who were onboard a luxury superyacht which capsized off the coast of Sicily on Monday morning - but questions have been asked about why the vessel sank.
According to vessel tracking app Vesselfinder, the boat left the Sicilian port of Milazzo on 14 August and and was last tracked east of Palermo on Sunday evening, with a navigation status of "at anchor".
It is believed the ship was struck by a tornado over the water - otherwise known as a waterspout - causing Bayesian to capsize.
There are separate reports the boat's mast snapped during the freak storm and other factors in the boat's sinking include water entering through hatches and doors which had been left open because of warm weather off the Italian coast.
