There were others on that boat. Not just a billionaire.

Boats sink all the time, men die by the hundreds or thousands daily. Just because he was rich we're supposed to explicitly care about this one?!

[otokunorkojo-smith]

He died in a tragic accident in the same week as his business partner. This is beyond suspicious obviously they need to open a criminal investigation into both deaths.

I read his co-defendant was struck by a vehicle days before this happened. Nothing to see here.

..So his VP gets run over by a car and killed only a couple of days earlier, now Mike Lynch is missing and also on board was a chairman of Morgan Stanley Investment Bank that is also missing... There were two boats close together, so one - a state of the art 56 meter yacht gets completely destroyed by the 'water spout' and the other boat near by, is completely unharmed. It could have been a set of completely freakish events, but logic contests...

It's so mean comments on this thread

Why does the host keep interrupting her guests!!?

[mrneutral]

Who cares? Just because this guy is rich means we should care about him more than some I dunno... Chinese fisher man? Why do we put so much value in greedy men?

[stevedavy]

" gripped in the horror yesterday " ? Only you talking puppets on your comfy couch. Most people couldnt care less that another grifting billionaire has bit the dust.

[mandyharewood]

Yeah, but the good news is that my three dogs and two cats are still alive! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[beatrice]

Weather forecast had announced it, and nobody was at sea but them...quite odd I would say.

[Nikitateagurl_]

Why put such tall mast? It seems overkill

[michouharoliyk]

Jesus. My dog just did a great big dogshit in the yard

[abooswalehmosafeer]

I only think of the Genocide in Gaza.
No way do I think of the Wealthy who fuel the Self Gene of the Capitalism.

[ErlingJensen-gc]

I've heard that the boats keel was liftet up as they lay at anchor. Stability was then seriously reduced

We get Water Spouts here in the Great Lakes, specifically Lake Erie.

When lightning hits a Yachts mast and exits via an aluminium Hull.... the hull melts leaving a huge hole..
I'm betting this is what the insurance loss adjuster will find.

[NocturnalAnimal]

Is it just me or does anyone else not feel bad when billionaires kick the bucket..

[horseteethcowteeth]

She was sleeping on the deck w her baby during the storm???

[woodenseagull]

I thought it was Mike Lynch the Railway drivers union leader. Mind you, they are probable both on the same wage scale !
