The luxury yacht 'Bayesian' sank off the coast of Sicily, resulting in the tragic deaths of four individuals, including tech billionaire Mike Lynch and his daughter Hannah. Divers faced challenges accessing the cabins on the lower deck, having to open a 3 cm thick glass panel.

The rescue efforts have been compared to the tragic Costa Concordia disaster. The cause of the accident remains unclear, and the search for the missing persons continues.

The yacht, which was described as 'unsinkable' by the shipbuilder, went down during a violent storm. The sinking occurred within minutes, leaving little time for the passengers and crew to react.

The investigation into the incident is still ongoing, focusing on factors such as open doors, weather conditions, stability, and the partially retracted keel. The tragic event has left many questioning how such a disaster could occur and has drawn attention to the safety measures and protocols in place on luxury yachts.
