A freak “black swan” weather event is thought to have led to the luxury Bayesian yacht sinking within minutes, maritime experts believe.
The unexpected formation of a tornado-like waterspout would have given the captain and terrified passengers little or no warning that the violent summer storm was about to turn into a catastrophe.
Weather events characterised by their extreme rarity and severe impact are known as “black swan events”. They are considered unpredictable and beyond normal expectations. Past examples include Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

So a black 🦢 is just a pretty way of saying an act of God without saying God.
Just as black sheep is a nice way to say undesirable.
❤ thank you ❤
mmm? something not quite right here – however the boat is on the ocean bed having taken out rather a lot of influential people. My first thought is was the captain who he says he was, if he is, then he'll be hung out to dry! no pun intended – to many anomalies
Weaponised weather systems.
The getaway submarine which they boarded while everyone was sleeping then deliberately collided with the keel in order to stage the disaster before heading to South America would be my guess if they aren't found. The waterspout video was from somewhere else entirely and had nothing to do with it.
The ancient Greeks, Romans, Phonecians, and many others, called it very bad weather. Or is this the first time a boat has sunk in stormy weather. Same for the South Atlantic.
It's pretty simple, you don't boat or fly in bad weather. Before you do either, you check the forecasts, and plan accordingly.
“Maybe something came loose of wasn’t ankered”. 😂 it was a phucking tornado.
Lol yeah keep shovelling the dung and we will all sit here believing this total and utter lie . 😂
Every breaking news feed on here is literally about this yacht and nothing else. Can anyone explain why none of the other 50000 plus accidental deaths that have happened globally this last week are getting the same media coverage ? Of course this is a tragedy but so are a lot of others, yet we see virtually nothing.
When the media is in overdrive trying to explain something! You damn well know something fishy is going on.
My 90 year old grandmother walks to the shop in worse weather.
Dont give a toss
God destroyed key figure of Satan
How many violent , illegal immigrants invaded our shores this week ?? The far leftwing media are truly using this to hide away our real problems !
The UN, have a climate change context on this post. It seems inappropriate.
TBH, it was all started by water. And wind. And rain.
There is more to this than a 'bad storm'. Many other lesser yachts survived, and then there is his business partner's 'accidental' death days before…
Fish and chisp
The crew. The entire crew, including the captain, managed to survive 🤔
The C_A has weighed in on climate change
Stephen Chamberlain, 52, the co-defendant of British tech tycoon Mike Lynch was also killed this week after being hit by a car while out jogging. Seriously?
Extremely suspicious death of a man.
Magic tornado.
Amazing how newsworthy a shipping disaster is when it’s one of your billionaire mates.
I love the power of Mother Nature.
Could be Bayesian, Trini or Haitian
The crew survived, apparently including captain. A hundred years ago, a captain who losthis ship and passengers would commit suicide.
Not buying it. The yacht would have swung with the increasing wind and the sail would automatically furl. The ballast and beam were huge to hold a mast that tall. Former Bering Sea in winter mate on bigger (and smaller) vessels, 190 knot sleet sideways didn't capsize vessels in desperate Bering seas. This is the Med.
RIP to the ones that have lost their lives, and I give great respect to the captain and crew for saving everyone they could.
I’ve only seen one waterspout in my lifetime and when the rotation immediately stopped the tonnage of water dropped in a massive explosion to the water surface.
Its weird how Bayesian , is all to do with probability , and what is the probability that , two people involved in a major trial , both disappear within days of each other , both involved in what appears are accidents , its almost like a great artist displaying greatness to the world , look what i can do , to impress his friend's , almost like a insiders joke.
Pois é. O Saulo também enfrentou, nessa região, ventanias muito intensas.
For me as NA rather than considering the irresponsability for not to look for harbour waters while the storm approach presumably knowing by the weather forestcast (Note: historically Roman galleys or mechant ships offten capsized on the same way on this area) and the combination of the vessel heading (presumably transversal to the incoming waves or paralel to the shoreline, anchored not sailing) with the main enviromental actions on the hull expose to the waves (load condition) and the fluctuating gusting wind forces on the mast area, lead to the yacht to oscillate (Roll) with amplitudes reaching the Roll resonance physic phenomena (ship Roll amplitudes in which any external excitation force can induce an unrestrained oscillation motion) that over come the yacht transversal stability capability inducing with a counter moment capsized the vessel and flooded after through the open hatch , very sad event , then the most probably new regulation for this type of vessel its seem for me that it will be the requirement for encrease the number of water tight compartiments (e.g.double hull) to allow a buoyancy capability on this kind of events although as the designer said while the yacht sail its unsinkable but anchored with open hatches heading transversal to the waves and wind is a very different history. Rgds
Yes. Agree. Someone is definitely watching Whatever goes around comes around. Especially when you consider what happened to the co-defendant. Our actions always have consequences 🙏
Im no sea expert ,or accedent specialist ,but it looks like it sank 😮
You should remove the music
This is a sign. The same people that control the weather.
Well, now it turned against them.
This is just a message. Keep playing with the weather, and you'll end up like this
So all the other boats were unharmed but the Multi million dollar yacht holding the outspoken billionaire sunk. Strange how it lost complete power just before it sunk and none of the other vessels did. Almost like it was planned during bad weather. LMFAO
Important revelation. The tender is missing. Its normally secured on deck when not in use. This could mean that the rear door or the side door or both were open at the time and the tender tied up to either one but still in the water. The open door(s) would have facilitated the flooding of the vessel, along with the raised keel (which lessened stability).
We know the weather is controlled. Tornados inc. This man was killed deliberately. He knew stuff they didn't want revealed. 'They' meaning those in control aka 1%.
