Summary

Italian authorities say a fifth body has been found in the search for those missing from the “Bayesian” superyacht, which sank off the coast of Sicily earlier in the week. The news comes after four bodies were found by divers earlier Wednesday, though the identities of those found remain unclear. The British-flagged vessel sank early Monday – killing at least one of 22 people on board – after its mast, one of the world’s tallest, broke in half during a violent storm.

The yacht sank after a small waterspout – a type of tornado – spun over the Mediterranean island. Emergency crews have attempted to make their way further inside the wreck, with hopes of finding survivors dwindling.

“I’m not going to lie to you, I’ll be honest with you,” he said. “I don’t want to lie.”

Why were they out there in the first place?

I don't think you can plan for a water spout appearing over you

They should have known weather was imminent, especially the captain.

That's the thing with weather, you can plan all you want and still get caught in some rain.

That's true but I'm sure bad weather was in the forecast! Wouldn't surprise me if they forced the captain to go
