The tragedy happened on the day of the Full Moon – August 19. 2024. IJS
Karma is a bitch
Karma for a criminal and his friends, I do feel bad for his young daughter. Now they want to charge the crew after this Lynch paid his way out of a criminal. Also his co defendant died days earlier. Karma all the way.
Captain perhaps was sleeping….he should listen to weather news….
God said GUILTY!
They should have left it at the botom of the sea.
That was the work of Lord, karma!!!!!!
so many salty people here
🙁 R.I.P. my condolences go to the family, friends, colleagues.
Maybe there is a god,and he doesn't like assholes. Poof!
More rich assholes in yachts please!
I thought Captain goes down with the ship or will always be the last one to jump off the ship 🛳 ? Arent those the rules?🤔
✌️
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.
HP having the last laugh and celebrating 🤣
Huge crew failure, they saved theirselves
He was asleep, you can see the storm coming miles away.
Karma served……
what a waste of recovery resources.
Going not with glabalists get killed?!
Let me guess. The ship's radar "malfunctioned" and the captain "fell asleep."
Reap what you sow
Yeah right…Lynch and Chamberlain went on trial in San Francisco on 18 March 2024. On 6 June, Lynch and Chamberlain were found not guilty of all charges.
Chamberlain died after being struck by a car while running in Stretham, Cambridgeshire, on 17 August 2024. Lynch died after his superyacht, Bayesian, sank off the coast of Sicily, on 19 August 2024. 🤔 Nothing to see here folks

It’s hard to feel sorry when someone loses their 180 foot yacht
You should have built an orphanage with that superyacht money. Jesus warned you rich, greedy people.
Who?
Notice they keep making all these things look like accidents. These are the ones who wouldnt play ball with these pyschopath deep state illuminati governments kobe too. You think alk these rich people are so irresponsible. When was the last super yahtch you heard of sinking. Common peopke and thos abc propaganda anchor has no shame. Just regurgitate bs
I guess his wife gets all his money? Damn, now that's the definition of marrying just for bucks
Im garbage. I feel sad for the daughter and wife but think he had it comming…thats garbage and know it yet fact
Were they wearing seatbelts?
It was probably somebody who knew too much about something he shouldn't have known.. specifically pertaining to the globalist and all the other s*** show politicians
orcas got hitters
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).
SWAMP CREATURE!
This is a manufacturing problem, and some blame the captain of the boat should receive as well, so this was a boat design problem, and I think Captain's error. The captain should be informed about weather at all times. Because 1 wrong decision can cost a captain's life, skipper's life, or any other crew members, and the lives of the boat passengers.
I believe it is possible to be in bad weather on a boat, but if there are any problems with a boat then it will sink in water.
From what I learned 1 anchor was dropped, and redirecting water was another problem, and both of these issues effect the stability of a boat. Too much water that goes on a boat can sink a boat, and an anchor is used to try to keep a boat in one place. Since only 1 anchor was probably used then it is understandable that their boat would have been repositioned with the wind on water, so I think too much water got inside of the boat causing the boat to sink in minutes.
Hello there, I was wondering, if I can share with you the most important thing ever. God the Father sent His holy Son Jesus to earth, to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. Then He was put into a tomb for 3 days, after that Abba Father raised Jesus to life.He appeared to people, and went back to heaven. We all must sincerely receive Jesus into our life to be God's child. See John 1:12 for this please. Will you today genuinely by faith receive Jesus into your life for salvation?
Why do Italians captains suck at their jobs?
This is the second lux sailing yatch i know of, that killed its wealthy owner. They are very beautiful, but can be very deadly. Though i wouldn't doubt that a rich man's hubris overruled the ship's Captain, about the dangerous weather conditions.
Wow that’s real news!
My condolences 🙏
I'm so sorry that incidences still happens. You would think balance in roof.seas would be a priority.
How many people got killed in GAZA ????
"Captain didnt know the storm was coming"
cut to Agatha Harkness Winking meme
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.
Were they involved in trafficking? Many of those are going down.
Ahh he is the reason world news has been following this. What did he know?
So why did some people just stay in their rooms?
