RIP to the chef who was aboard the yacht and condolences to his family 🙏🏼

5 other people died too who were as important condolences to all their families despite the BBCs clear view 'money and fame' means more.

Too much bias on those wealthy individuals on this yacht.

Nobody remembers the richest person in the Graveyard

My condolences to all that died on this, but isn’t it odd that Mike, his close friends, his legacy (daughter), his lawyers died at HALF A MILE from the port, where not a single ship other than his wrecked? Isn’t it odd that his business partner, responsible for their tech security company, died in the same weekend on a car accident?

Are all of you blind?

Do you have any idea the kind of technology this guy created and why they’re targeted?

First a lawsuit that he won in the uk, than another lawsuit in the us that he had 0, 5% chance of winning, and he did. They couldn’t wreck and take over by bankrupting them with lawsuits so someone somewhere brought another option…



OPEN YOUR EYES PEOPLE.

This guy dies in a boating accident and his co-defendant dies via car accident, coincidence..don't think so.

My heart goes out to the poor families who lost people in this awful accident.

Note to billionaires: All boats can sink, no matter their size or cost.

As we speak a working class person is dying from poverty while this single boating incident has dominated the news cycle for days.
Some die of treatable illnesses, hunger, homelessness. Some go boating.
The cruelty you may feel from these words is a reflection of the cruelty of poverty inflicted upon the masses by the elite few.

I’ve worked in the yachting industry all my life, my parents as well, a lot of my friends personally knew the chef on that boat . There are many thousands of people in this industry and you can be sure that it has affected them . However the plight of all the immigrants losing their lives daily, not just at sea but in desserts, victims of murder by the coyotes, captains throwing stowaways over the side, is obviously a terrible daily tragedy, but it’s old copy and the media are making the most of what could be considered one of the still unexplained freak accidents to have happened to a yacht .

[silverfletcher]

The yacht sank because a Lynch’s enemy sank it.

[mikezappa]

"Sicily yacht" so it's now the islands fault or the fault of a Sicilian yacht? British press always looking for any little slither of a reason to blame something foreign.

Only news because he's rich, rip chef

[fizzallah]

Enough BBC there are people, good ordinary clever people being killed all over the world and you go on and on and on about two very rich men who died partying. Enough!!

Nothing speaks of someone's level of untrustworthiness more than being on the board of the BBC

Never ever underestimate the power of tech Billionaires like Hewlett Packard, gotcha!

Sad news indeed.May their souls rest in peace

[caprisuns]

5 rich people die and it is on the front news for 3 days.

R.I.P to all the migrants who have perished crossing the Mediterranean.

By making the other victims a footnote, you do a disservice to them and your viewers
