The macabre continues on the coast of Sicily. Divers recovered a fifth body this Thursday near the wreck of the English engineer Mike Lynch that sank on Monday and are still looking for the last missing victim. According to the Reuters agency, the remains of Mike Lynch, “British Bill Gates”, have been identified and those who cannot be found for the moment are those of his 18-year-old daughter, Hannah.
The wealthy businessman celebrated with his friends, colleagues and lawyers his acquittal in June in a trial for fraud in the United States which could have made him spend many years in prison. The ship sank within minutes after a typhoon struck on Monday morning and 15 people, including six passengers including a mother and her one-year-old daughter, were rescued, while one crew member the sailor is dead.
The first witnesses said that the 75 meter mast was broken but the information available on Thursday seems to indicate that this is not the case. The speed with which the ship sank and the fact that the other ships around it were not forced to raise questions, including whether the weighted keel, which is against great weight, was lowered or rise in stormy weather.
“These poor people end up like rats”
The master of the naval group The Italian Sea Group, owner of the Perini Navi shipyard which builds the Bayesiandon’t lose your temper and point out people’s mistakes. “Everything that happened shows a long series of mistakes. Passengers should not be in cabins, the ship should not be at anchor,” Giovanni Costantino said in an interview on Wednesday Corriere della Sera.
“Look, a Perini ship weathered the Category 5 Hurricane Katrina” which devastated the United States in 2005, he said. “Doesn’t it look like it can’t handle a local wind?” It is customary, when a ship is at anchor, to have a watchman on board, and if he is there, he cannot fail to see that the storm is coming,” Giovanni Costantino continued.
“They fell into a trap, these poor people ended up like rats,” concluded the merchant.
