Search resumes for 6 from sunken superyacht off Sicily, including tech magnate Mike Lynch
Tuesday, 20 August 2024 () Rescue teams and divers are returning to the site of a storm-sunken superyacht off Sicily to search for six people, including British tech magnate Mike Lynch, who are believed to be still trapped in the hull. Divers early Tuesday were loading up a rescue dinghy at the port of Porticello, near Palermo. Debris had blocked access below deck during the initial search. Authorities believe the ship was struck by a waterspout early Monday before it sank to the seabed. Fifteen people survived, including Lynch's wife. Lynch was once hailed as Britainβs king of technology and was acquitted in June of fraud charges in a U.S. trial.
