The luxury yacht 'Bayesian' sank during a severe storm off Sicily, with 15 people rescued and one body found. Specialized divers have penetrated the ship's interior in search of the six missing persons, including British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch and his daughter.

The search for the missing continues. The yacht is being referred to as a small 'Concordia'.

Divers have found four bodies inside the sunken yacht. The investigation into the cause of the sinking is ongoing.

The yacht capsized in just 60 seconds after encountering a waterspout. The recovery efforts are complex due to obstacles and narrow passages inside the wreck.

The Italian government has launched an investigation into the incident. The yacht had a 75-meter mast, an intact hull, and closed hatches, making the rapid sinking a mystery.

Possible causes include the force of the waves, a malfunctioning air conditioning system leading to open hatches, and human error. The search for the missing passengers, including Mike Lynch and his daughter, continues after the yacht sank during a storm, with divers facing challenges accessing the wreck.
