Dramatic Search Resumes for Missing Yacht Passengers

*Police divers are back in action searching for six missing people from a sunken superyacht near Sicily.

The Sunken Superyacht

*The 56-meter yacht, Bayesian, sank about 50 meters underwater off Porticello, Sicily, after a storm hit early Monday.

Missing Individuals

*Among the missing are British tech magnate Mike Lynch, his lawyer, and a key defense witness. The search is complicated by depth and tight spaces.

Survivors and Losses

*Out of 22 people onboard, 15 survived. The chef’s body has been recovered. The six missing are believed trapped in cabins.

Heroic Acts

*Survivor Charlotte Golunski saved her 1-year-old daughter by holding her above the waves until help arrived.

Impact of the Incident

*The search is slower than the Costa Concordia disaster due to the yacht's depth. The yacht was available for charter at $215,000 a week.

Additional Tragedy

*In a separate incident, Stephen Chamberlain, Lynch’s co-defendant, died in a car accident in England on Sunday.

Ongoing Efforts

*Rescue teams are working in 12-minute shifts to navigate the depth and debris as they continue their search.
