The wreck of the yacht yacht of $ 30 million to be examined

The wreckage of the super yacht Baysi became on a dry land in Sicily after it was raised from the sea floor and carried on a slow final trip from the place where it sank in a storm last summer, killing seven passengers and crew.

The yacht, which belongs to the British technological businessman Mike Lynch, was recovered in a complex operation of $ 30 million (22.2 million pounds) to allow Italian prosecutors to search the debris as part of the ongoing investigation.

Mr. Lynch and his teenage daughter were among the seven passengers and crew who died when Baysi was sudden wind and sank within minutes.

Their bodies were restored by divers after several days.

Other smaller ships in the same area of ​​that day survived the storm intact, leaving experts who are struggling to understand the reason for the luxury yacht severely.

At that time, the Sicily prosecutors announced a criminal investigation into the unintegrated killing and the debris of the neglected ship, describing its results as “completely unpredictable.”

They made it clear that Baysi’s restoration would be necessary.

Now yacht outside the water, and the prosecutors will be able to examine material evidence and start reaching some answers.

The rescue began in May, but it was soon shocked by a new catastrophe when a divers was killed in an underwater explosion.

It was necessary to stop the entire process, which includes dozens of experts.

The diving team was then replaced by remote control plans, which delays the process.

Installing tapes around the structure, or the main body of the ship, was more strict than expected.

But last week, the rescue team, managed by TMC Maritime, reduced the 72 -meter giant aluminum mast from the yacht, allowing the body to be underwater correction.

It was raised at a height of 50 meters to the surface for a three -day accurate process with regular tests of any fuel or other pollution.

Public prosecutors wanted the remains of the super -keepers yacht as much as possible.

Not only on Sunday, hanging from a giant crane with multiple tapes under her stomach, and Bayezi was ready to carry 16 km (10 miles) or so towards the beach.

On Monday morning, it was reduced to a metal cradle in the Termini IMERESE port where debris, gray and beating will be left, to dry before any official examination or criminal tests.

Meanwhile, giant seller rescue teams, forgery from the sea floor and the final survey of any other materials may help inquire.

Mr. Lynch, a technical businessman sometimes called “British Bill Gates”, was acquitted last summer of the US fraud fees, and a trip was planned about Sicily with family and friends as a celebration.

In the first hours of August 19, the luxury yacht was installed abroad near the port of Portclu, when the storm was struck.

There has been endless speculation about the reason for Baysi’s drowning since then: whether the doors are closed in time and what other steps have taken by the crew and extent of speed.

There are three members of the crew including the captain under investigation.

But the Italian prosecution team remained tight about their work. Last year, in their only pressure comments, they said they would explore whether the accident was due to a human error or possible design defects on the yacht.

“Only after analyzing the debris, we will understand what happened, as the water came, whether there is enough water to cause the ship to sink or whether another factor was involved.”

Last month, a temporary report found the British Bahris investigators, MAIB, that Bayesi – with the huge one -sided mast – was subject to very strong wind speeds.

The report suggested, not the owner, not the crew, knowing this.

The phrases presented to their authors also indicated that all relevant gates and doors were closed when designing the storm.

The report was made for safety purposes – avoiding future disasters in the sea – and not for any criminal prosecution.

Now that Bayesian has been brought to the beach, MAIB experts will be able to access and refine this information, “BBC has been informed,” looking at all factors that may have contributed … in the accident. “

Lawyers who represent some of the dead describe as the “most important stage” of the investigation.

“We will finally be able to know which parts of the boat allowed water, causing it to be drowned,” Mario Bellavista, a lawyer who behaves for the BBC.

“We can see the altoings that were open or closed, or any other water entry points.”

He said that the wreckage will provide “the first real evidence” for the prosecutors.

As another lawyer said, the general prosecutors now need to know, “How exactly this could have happened on such an incredible boat.”
