Why did Mike Lynch’s yacht sink? | The Daily T

British businessman Mike Lynch has been confirmed dead after his yacht sank off the Sicily coast during a freak storm earlier this week.

Kamal and Tim Stanley speak to the Telegraph’s Albert Tait on the ground in Sicily and maritime salvage expert Bertrand Sciboz about what happens to the wreck now. Plus Kamal reflects on Mr Lynch and his interviews with him over the years.

And on GCSE results day, Kamal and Tim pour over the stats and ask why the new Labour government want to tax private schools so heavily given their students perform so well.

The CFO, who did 5 years in United States federal prison, while the rest of them skated, is the only one still alive

Condolences to all the families of the ones who died so tragically

[WileyFox]

Something is definitely not right here, Mike Lynch's business partner and co defendant Stephen Chamberlain also passed away at the weekend after being hit by a car.

No matter how big the vessel is, the ocean is bigger. No amount of money could have saved him or anyone else. It's very sad for all the families involved. May the families find peace. May God rest their souls.

[treble]

Why did the boat sink? Why did his co-defendant get killed whilst out jogging just two days before? I'm sure some people out there have the answers.

[lordtherapeutics]

Unsinkable? Have we learned nothing in the hundred plus years since the Titanic?

[TheMacdaddy]

Cos he was murdered big coincidence his business partner died 48 hrs prior BIG coincidence aye ……

I couldn’t believe he got away with selling hp “a pup”…..it was so obvious at the time when hp acquired autonomy for all those billions it was an empty shell

I’m a secondary school teacher who’s worked in both state and private schools for over 25 years. These two don’t have a clue what they’re on about.

My heartfelt condolences to all the casualties and their family and friends . May they all R.I. P🙏🙏🙏 ❤️❤️❤️

"THE SAILING YACHT BAYESIAN HAS BEEN CAPSIZED BECAUSE, (1) IT WAS ANCHORED (NO FLEXIBILITY IN THE STORM WEATHER) AND (2) THE KEEL IT WAS NOT COMPLETELY OUT (LOSE BALANCE IN THE STORM WEATHER)"

[harryjarman]

Yachts dont normally anchor in 50m depth, usually alot shallower.

[isabellas.c.scanderbeg]

It seems that the appointed Bayeslian captain for this summer journey made made many many mistakes. He didn‘t watch weather reports, he didn’t alert his guests, he didn’t close the boat’s portals nor did he manoever with engine. The boat was left ungoverned, sadly. The enquiries will clarify everything about this sad accident 🕊️

Every year or two, the sea would consume the wealthy and billionaire for a reason

[frankblangeard]

I suspect that the boat sank because it filled with water and was no longer buoyant.

[mongolmcphee]

Absolutely NOTHING suspicious about this at all. His mate didn’t get assassinated either. Nothing suspicious about both of these people “accidentally” not being alive almost simultaneously right after crossing big business in the U.S. End of story.

[navajojohn]

I am waiting for the details to see why so many survived while others didn't. How did Lynch's wife survive but he didn't. Were they together at 5/6 am?Luckily a lot of witnesses on board.

[keithdavis]

To suggest this is an accident is ridiculous. This is an assassination. His co defendant was mowed down dead days before.

[elizabethtetley]

My 6th sense tells me something is not right about this

[RuthBrown-tmgt]

I am surprised at the caliber of comments. No wonder Britain is in trouble.
