“Captain didn’t know storm was coming.” Right.

[tbtb]

Crazy how this guy dies just a few days after his business partner, and just a few months after beating the government in a 10 year long court battle… odd.

[weldinggirl]

This whole story is alittle suspicious 🤔🤔

[lindat]

Celebrating his acquittal, karma comes knocking pretty hard sometimes.

The captain didn't know the storm.was coming????

[laurentb.]

You forget an important part of the story. I worked in this industry for many years and I cannot count the completely stupid, irrelevant, crazy, moroonic demands that these rich people request. If you don t, you will be fired. Period. So if a mega rich daughter wants to go for a dip in the middle of the night, you open the door and pray that nothing happens. But still, you are fully responsible. That s why I quited the industry. I could not cope anymore with the stupidity of these rich customers that would sent me to jail sooner or later.

Let me guess. The ship's radar "malfunctioned" and the captain "fell asleep."

HP shareholders are probably not in mourning.

"Captain didnt know the storm was coming"
cut to Agatha Harkness Winking meme

[DumbCarGuy]

When in doubt blame the Yacht builder. Yep why not.

[j.mccarthy]

Hard to believe the captain didn’t know a STORM was coming!!!

[profiskipinternational]

:-( R.I.P. my condolences go to the family, friends, colleagues.

So sad i was aboard USS HANCOCK CVA-19 for 3yrs and believe me when I tell you the ocean can do anything to any ship if you make a mistake i hope they find the young girl.

[soniamariaalvesdemelo]

Looks strangers..!!!the crew saved themselves? Its very strange..🙄🤔

[bluesmokerH]

"Ride captain ride upon your mystery ship"

[AnythingJW]

that yacht can't be sinked but can be broken.... acquitted in court but mother nature is the final judge

[GrandmaBev]

This is still the 3-4th billionaire/convicted criminal, who has disappeared or died right before sentencing. It takes 32 years to count to a billion. Money can buy anything anymore. It's crazy. I hope he went out having fun with his family, but my trust doesn't go that far, when I start seeing a pattern of it. 3 in the last few years? Pattern or coincidence?

[rogerbaker-vocd]

Huge crew failure, they saved theirselves

[denisberte]

I don't mean exhibit a lack of compassion here, but you mean they didn't have 2 or 3 experienced seamen on the boat who knew
what the score was, i.e., monitoring the radio for weather, maintaining life jackets and boats just in case and keeping an eye on the
situation in general. How come I can think of all that and I'm a nobody!? God above, please, please help me to understand. Prayers to
the families. Regards, Denis Berte' USMC (Nam 70-71).

HP having the last laugh and celebrating 🤣
