Italian navy divers retrieve video equipment and encrypted hard drives from the wreckage as probe into the fatal sinking continues.

  • Seven people, including tech billionaire Mike Lynch and his daughter, died when the Bayesian yacht sank off the coast of Sicily during a storm.
  • Italian prosecutors are investigating the yacht's captain and two crew members for potential manslaughter and culpable shipwreck charges.
  • Recovered video surveillance equipment and hard drives could provide crucial insights into the circumstances of the sinking.
  • The yacht, deemed 'unsinkable' by its manufacturer, capsized while a nearby vessel remained unaffected, raising questions about its design and safety measures.
  • Experts warn that freak weather patterns like the storm that sank the Bayesian could lead to similar maritime disasters in the future.
