There’s a reason why the expression ‘batten down the hatches ’ exist. It’s what you do if a storm is in coming.
If they hadn’t prepared for a storm, a large wave would easily swamp the boat and send her to the bottom.
Elon Musk….. Bound to be involved.
To go to THE BIG CITY and get away from their wife/sister or brother/husband?
This thread about the sinking of the Bayesian has gone wildly off topic.
What was the probability of that?

Wealthy people, sadly, may be more inclined to take risks. Another example being the fate of the men in the hand-made submersible that tried to dive to the wreck of the Titanic. How many other boats were in that part of the Mediterranean during the freak storm? I'd wager not many.
It was Caligula who tried to make his horse a consul.
I think it was a jibe at how crap he thought the human alternatives were, rather than a serious sign of madness.

The Southwick Tunnel one does sound so plausible as to be quite boring. The MOD have never denied it and have said that there are installations in the South East.Southwick Tunnel
All the others are

Okay so the plot does indeed thicken especially if you look into the AI surveillance tool and the AI/ML security tool were working on.
It's got vibes of "Promis" about it for those who know their software history.

Currently holidaying in Palermo. That storm was quite something.
With what I’m reading about the suspicions now of what may have helped cause the sinking I’m not surprised

PROMIS is a genuinely fascinating story.
No disrespect to the victims and those close to them, but is this REALLY the biggest story in the UK to be deemed the lead story on Sky News at 6pm?
Any links?
The chances of one extraordinary coincidence not happening every day are billions to one.

You can also search for ‘PROMIS, Robert Maxwell’ and get some interesting insights as to his role in selling the software to various countries.
This may or may not have resulted in him accidentally falling off his luxury motor yacht one night…
Potential manslaughter being investigated in superyacht sinking, Italian prosecutor says
Investigators plan to bring the shipwreck up from the seabed as part of the probe into the Bayesian's capsizing, the prosecutor told a news conference on Saturday.

From the speculation I've read, the keel was up, the tender door was open, and the tender was out (as they had been off out for dinner) and I guess everyone on board was enjoying themselves and had failed to clock the incoming storm before they headed off to bed. So sadly if the captain and crew had obviously left the vessel in the state it was in, then I guess it could be manslaughter. Certainly incompetence in the face of such weather. The truth will out soon as the Captain and crew will be being intervewied if not already.
Won’t help the conspiracy theories ! Especially as all deck crew survived
I know, it is very suspicious this other chap in the fraud case also dying I do get that. But the entire crew would have had to be paid here to leave the yacht in such a state AND then create a waterspout and freak storm. Not sure how the conspiracy theorists think a storm can be created, I'd be interested to know!
