Video shows moments before superyacht went down in storm off Sicily

Newly released video captures a luxury superyacht being battered by a violent storm before it suddenly sank off Sicily with 22 people aboard Monday.

The grainy images obtained by NBC News and other outlets were recorded on closed-circuit television not far from where the Bayesian was anchored, about a half-mile from the port of Porticello, on Sicily’s northern coast .

The yacht's 250-foot mast, illuminated with lights and lashed by the storm, appears to bend to one side before it finally disappears and is replaced by darkness.

The speed with which a yacht built to handle the roughest seas capsized stunned maritime experts.  

“I can’t remember the last time I read about a vessel going down quickly like that, you know, completely capsizing and going down that quickly, a vessel of that nature, a yacht of that size,” said Stephen Richter of SAR Marine Consulting.

British tech tycoon Mike Lynch and five of the 22 other people who were aboard the 184-foot vessel remain unaccounted for and are believed to be trapped in the Bayesian’s hull, nearly 170 feet underwater.

Officials confirmed Monday that at least one person, the ship’s cook, had died.  

Superyachts like the Bayesian, which had been available for charters at a rate of $215,000 a week, are designed to stay afloat even as they are taking on water to give the people aboard a chance to escape, Richter said. 

“Boats of this size, they’re taking passengers on an excursion or a holiday,” Richter said. “They are not going to put them in situations where it may be dangerous or it may be uncomfortable, so this storm that popped up was obviously an anomaly. These vessels that carry passengers, they’re typically very well-maintained, very well-appointed.”

Built by Italian shipbuilder Perini Navi in 2008, the U.K.-registered Bayesian could carry 12 guests and a crew of up to 10, according to online specialist yacht sites. Its nearly 250-foot mast is the tallest aluminum sailing mast in the world, according to CharterWorld Luxury Yacht Charters. 

On Tuesday, Italian rescue workers resumed the search for Lynch and the five other passengers still missing: Lynch’s 18-year-old daughter, Hannah; Morgan Stanley International Chairman Jonathan Bloomer and his wife; and Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife.

“The fear is that the bodies got trapped inside the vessel,” Salvatore Cocina, the head of civil protection in Sicily, told Reuters .

The Bayesian is owned by a firm linked to Lynch’s wife, Angela Bacares, who was one of the 15 people rescued Monday after it capsized.

“It’s extremely rare for a boat of this size to sink,” Richter said.

What’s not rare is the kind of storm that sank it , said Simon Boxall, senior lecturer in oceanography at Britain’s University of Southampton.

“People assume the Mediterranean is this rather calm and passive place that never gets storms and always blue skies,” Boxall said. “In fact, you get some quite horrendous storms that are not uncommon at this time of year.”

The president of Italy’s meteorological society has said Monday’s violent storm may have involved a waterspout, essentially a tornado over water, or a downburst, which occurs more frequently but doesn’t involve the rotation of the air.

Luca Mercalli, president of the Italian Meteorology Society, also said recent temperatures may have been a factor. 

“The sea surface temperature around Sicily was around 30 degrees Celsius [86 Fahrenheit], which is almost 3 degrees more than normal,” Mercalli told Reuters. “This creates an enormous source of energy that contributes to these storms.”

The Mediterranean sailing vacation was designed to be a celebration for Lynch, who two months ago was acquitted by a San Francisco jury of fraud charges stemming from the 2011 sale of his software company Autonomy to Hewlett-Packard for $11 billion.

Prosecutors alleged that Lynch, dubbed “Britain’s Bill Gates,” and Autonomy’s vice president for finance, Stephen Chamberlain, had padded the firm’s finances ahead of the sale. Lynch’s lawyers argued that HP was so eager to acquire Autonomy that it failed to adequately check the books .

Lynch had taken Morvill, who was one of his defense attorneys, on the luxury trip. 

Chamberlain was not on the Bayesian.

In what appears to be a tragic coincidence, a car struck and killed Chamberlain on Saturday as he was jogging in a village about 68 miles north of London, local police said.

“Steve fought successfully to clear his good name at trial earlier this year, and his good name now lives on through his wonderful family,” Chamberlain’s lawyer, Gary Lincenberg, said in a statement .

Where in the world: Top superyacht locations this week

The global superyacht fleet is always on the move. Using BOAT Pro’s pioneering AIS fleet tracker , we keep an eye on the furthest flung superyachts of the week .

Nord in the Seychelles

The 142 metre Nord is undoubtedly one of the most notable launches of the past few years. She became Lürssen's biggest build to date when she hit the water in 2021 and has continued to turn heads with her sheer size, squared-off bow and striking duo-tone hull and superstructure. After a summer well spent cruising in the Mediterranean, Nord made her way to the Maldives in time for Christmas and is now sitting pretty in the Seychelles, anchored off from its capital Victoria. 

Lusine in London

At 60 metres in length, the Heesen motor yacht Lusine is the largest steel superyacht to be built by Heesen and was spotted cruising into the mouth of the River Thames on February 14. She is one of a string of new European builds that have arrived in London in the past few months to be delivered. Lusine was built under the name Project Falcon and recently completed intensive sea trials in the North Sea, reaching a top speed of 17.7 knots.

La Datcha in Peru

The 77 metre polar expedition yacht La Datcha has made her way back up the South American coastline after spending the winter season doing what she does best - exploring the frozen fields of Antarctica. Equipped with an ice classed hull and helicopter, La Datcha has been to-ing and fro-ing between Ushuaia and Antarctica over the past few months but is now enjoying the warmer waters of Peru.

Arbema in Cuba

Arbema , previously known as Azteca , came under new ownership in 2021 in one of the biggest sales of the year. The 72 metre CRN superyacht was snapped up after just three months on the market and her new owner has naturally been spending the winter season cruising the Caribbean. She was most recently spotted pulling into Havana, Cuba. 

Azamanta in Bermuda

The unmistakable bronze hull of the 55 metre Heesen Azamanta has been spotted pulling into port in Bermuda. She was delivered in 2015 as the first in the Dutch shipyard's 55 Steel series and has been under private ownership ever since. Azamanta 's cruising calendar is often dictated by the seasons - summers in the Mediterranean and winters in the Caribbean - but an ice-reinforced steel hull means she can travel wherever she pleases.

Ukraine war latest: Putin planning visit to member country of court seeking his arrest

Vladimir Putin will visit Mongolia next week, the Kremlin has announced. The country is a member of the International Criminal Court, which issued an arrest warrant for the Russian president last year for the alleged unlawful deportation and transfer of children.

• Reporting by Mark Wyatt

Ukraine says it has shot down 12 out of 18 Russian drones launched into the country during an overnight attack.

Kyiv's air force said on Telegram that Russia also used an Iskander-M ballistic missile during the attack, fired from Crimea.

Four of the drones used by Russia were lost and fell independently.

At least three people were injured yesterday in a Russian "double-tap" attack in the northeastern Sumy region of Ukraine, according to officials.

According to the region's military administration, a 38-year-old man was injured after a Russian drone strike in Seredyna-Buda.

While emergency services were on the scene, the site was hit by a second strike, injuring a police officer and a 57-year-old civilian, the report added.

The situation in the Sumy region has become more tense since the start of Ukraine's invasion into Russia's Kursk region, which borders Sumy.

Vladimir Putin plans to visit Mongolia next week, the Kremlin has announced.

Mongolia is a member of the International Criminal Court (ICC), which issued an arrest warrant for the Russian president in March 2023 for the alleged unlawful deportation and transfer of children.

Mr Putin will visit the country "at the invitation Mongolian President Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh", the Kremlin said.

It will be his first visit to an ICC member country that has ratified the Rome Statute - an agreement that calls on all members to arrest Mr Putin if he enters their territory.

The ICC does not have any enforcement mechanism, while the Kremlin has repeatedly said it does not recognise its jurisdiction.

The leaders will celebrate the 85th anniversary of the Battles of Khalknin Gol, in which Soviet and Mongolian forces jointly defeated Japanese troops.

For context: Mongolia has refrained from supporting Russia's war in Ukraine but has not condemned it at the United Nations.

The country also has a large economic dependence on Russian fuel.

Welcome back to our coverage of the Ukraine-Russia war.

Yesterday, the situation grew more intense in the key Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk, where Kyiv's top commander says fighting is "exceptionally tough".

Meanwhile, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine would not forgive Russia "for a single destroyed Ukrainian life" as the country marked the Day of Remembrance of Defenders of Ukraine.

And earlier in the day, a US defence official said that an F-16 fighter jet donated to Ukraine was destroyed in a crash on Monday that killed the pilot. The cause has not yet been determined.

Here are the other key lines from the past 24 hours: 

• A fighter jet from Belarus attempted to shoot down a Russian drone that flew into the country's airspace this morning;
• Russia's huge air attacks across Ukraine this week cost Moscow more than £1bn, the UK representative to the UN said;
• Ukraine said it was keeping a close eye on its border with Belarus after a build-up of troops there in recent days.

We'll be back with more updates and analysis tomorrow, but before we go, here's a recap of the key developments that took place today:

• Ukrainian shelling in Russia's Belgorod region killed one person and injured others, according to officials;
• Ukraine said it was keeping a close eye on its border with Belarus after a build-up of troops there in recent days;
• Ukraine's top commander Oleksandr Syrskyi said fighting in Pokrovsk is "exceptionally tough";
• Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine would not forgive Russia "for a single destroyed Ukrainian life" as the country marked the Day of Remembrance of Defenders of Ukraine.

A military court in Moscow has placed Pavel Popov, a former deputy defence minister, in detention on suspicion of fraud in the latest of a string of corruption probes of officials tied to ex-defence minister Sergei Shoigu.

The case against Popov, who has served in his role since 2013, is the third investigation into a senior defence official relating to construction work at Patriot Park - a military theme park near Moscow.

The war-themed tourist attraction near Moscow displays a vast collection of Russian and Soviet weaponry and offers visitors the chance to clamber on tanks and take part in combat simulations.

Investigators said Popov, beginning in 2021, had diverted various building materials from the park to his own country house for installation work.

Popov has been detained until 29 October.

He denies guilt, his lawyer told the RIA state news agency.

Popov joins at least a dozen officials who, since April, have been caught up in the biggest wave of corruption scandals to hit the Russian military and defence establishment in years.

In May, soon after the first arrests, Vladimir Putin unexpectedly removed Mr Shoigu as defence minister and replaced him with Andrei Belousov in what was widely seen as a move to ensure tighter management of Russia's vast defence budget.

Russian political commentators said the investigation into Popov was clearly linked to a broader anti-graft crackdown undertaken by Belousov against those with ties to Mr Shoigu.

A Ukrainian F-16 fighter jet was destroyed in a crash on Monday, a US defence official has said.

According to the official, the cause has not yet been determined - pilot error or mechanical failure.

It comes after Russia staged a missile and drone attack on Ukraine on Monday.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Tuesday that F-16 jets were used to repel the attack on Monday and showed good results.

He had announced earlier this month that Ukraine had started flying F-16s for operations within the country, confirming the long-awaited arrival of the US-made fighter jets which Ukraine has been pushing for since the start of the war.

Four nuclear power units at two different power plants in Ukraine were disconnected from the grid during the Russian attack on Monday, Ukraine's presidential office head, Andriy Yermak, reports.

In a statement on Telegram , Mr Yermak said power units at Rivne NPP, in northwest Ukraine, and South Ukrainian NPP in the south, had been disconnected.

What happened on Monday?

Russian forces unleashed 236 drones and missiles in a massive attack on Ukraine. 

Seven people were killed and 15 regions were struck, with explosions heard in the capital, Kyiv. 

Ukraine said hypersonic missiles were used in the assault.

Fighting in Pokrovsk is "exceptionally tough", Ukraine's top commander Oleksandr Syrskyi has said. 

Mr Syrskyi, who has spent several days on the eastern front, also said that Russia was throwing everything it could into its assaults, trying to break through Ukrainian defences.

"Fighting is exceptionally tough," he said, adding that Ukraine had to constantly use unorthodox methods to strengthen its positions.

For context : Russia's army is closing in on Pokrovsk, a critical logistics hub for the Ukrainian defence in the area. 

The region, which had a pre-war population of about 60,000, is one of Ukraine's main defensive strongholds.

Its capture would compromise Ukraine's defensive abilities and supply routes and would bring Russia closer to its stated aim of capturing the entire Donetsk region.

Ukraine says it's keeping a close eye on its border with Belarus after a build-up of troops there in recent days.

Kyiv's foreign ministry accused Minsk last week of concentrating a "significant number of personnel" in the Gomel region near Ukraine's northern border "under the guise of exercises".

It swiftly warned Belarusian officials not to make "tragic mistakes under Moscow's pressure" and withdraw its forces.

The Institute for the Study of War said Belarus's troop deployment was likely intended to divert Ukrainian soldiers from other fronts.

It also assessed that Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko was "extremely unlikely to risk combat with Ukraine that could weaken his regime".

Speaking on television today, a spokesperson for Ukraine's border guard service said it had detected no immediate threats on the border, but that Ukrainian troops were keeping it constantly monitored.

"This is tens of kilometres from our border, at different points – different distances," said Andriy Demchenko.

"What is happening on the territory of Belarus is actively monitored by intelligence units, the ministry of defence and the state border service in order to understand how the situation is changing, how threatening it can be for Ukraine.

"So that all components of our defence forces, which strengthen this direction, have the opportunity to react in time to any actions."

UNC Football at Minnesota: Location, Time, Prediction, and More

By nick delahanty | aug 29, 2024.

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?!

The UNC football program is BACK as they get set to take on Minnesota in their 2024 college football season opener at Huntington Bank Stadium.

This primetime matchup is a rematch from a contest between the two teams a season ago, as North Carolina pout together a rather convincing victory over the Gophers by a score of 31-13 on September 16, 2023.

The post Drake Maye era begins for the UNC football program as we quite frankly know which quarterback will trot out with the offensive unit for the team's opening drive of the season. While Maye is playing on Sundays, the Tar Heels benefit from having All-American running back Omarion Hampton back in the mix as he's poised for another star-studded season in 2024.

Although you might not think that Minnesota and North Carolina are very similiar, guess again. The Gophers have a new quarterback and defensive coordinator in place, very similar to what the Tar Heels are experiencing heading into the new season. While both teams struggled mightily down the stretch a season ago, both teams look to get off to a fast start to kickoff the new season.

The weather might not be ideal come kickoff time, but hey, we'll see how it impacts both teams as they compete against each other in the second-ever meeting.

Georgia vs. Clemson prediction, pick, spread, football game odds, where to watch, TV channel, live stream

The bulldogs and tigers face off for a massive showdown in week 1 with early season cfp implications.

No. 1 Georgia and No. 14 Clemson are two of the winningest teams in the College Football Playoff era, but one has been on an upward trajectory as the other has fallen short of the CFP the last four years. The two meet Saturday in the Aflac Kickoff Classic in Atlanta in an important game that may determine whether Clemson is a playoff-quality program.

This game is a rematch of the 2021 season opener when the two programs diverged near the top of the sport. Clemson fell 10-3 thanks a lack of explosive plays on offense and inconsistent performances at quarterback -- problems that have plagued the program ever since. Georgia went on to win the first of its back-to-back national titles. 

Clemson is an underdog in its season opener for the first time since 2014, a stretch that included Week 1 games against Georgia in 2021 and at Auburn in 2016. The Tigers lost in Week 1 to Georgia as an underdog in 2014. Only once has Dabo Swinney been a bigger underdog (+14.5 at Florida State in 2012) and the longtime Clemson coach is 12-1 against the spread as an underdog of five or more points. A Clemson win would be the program's largest upset since 2004 at Miami (+16.5).

Georgia vs. Clemson: Need to know

What does Georgia do without Brock Bowers? Carson Beck emerged as one of the nation's best quarterbacks in the second half of his first season as starter in 2023. He leaned heavily on tight end Brock Bowers, who led Georgia in receiving three straight years. Ladd McConkey stepped in for an injured Bowers last season and was equally productive but he is also gone. It's up to the receivers and Oscar Delp , the No. 1 tight end in the class of 2022, to step up and keep Beck on track as a Heisman Trophy contender. Dominic Lovett ranked second on the team with 54 catches for 613 yards and four touchdowns last season and should be the go-to option. Beck led the SEC in passing (3,941 yards) and broke the school record in accuracy, completing 72% of his throws. But will those numbers hold true without a safety valve?

Clemson's offense needs to be more explosive : Both programs rank in the top five nationally in the 247Sports Team Talent Composite, despite Clemson receiving incessant criticism about its lack of transfer portal use. Quarterback Cade Klubnik returns to lead an offense that has struggled to push the ball downfield, ranking 129th nationally in explosive pass plays last season. Might new receivers Bryant Wesco and T.J. Moore help stretch the field? Swinney is confident Wesco, a former five-star prospect, will make an impact in his debut. The offensive line returns four starters but the best news here is the hiring of veteran position coach Matt Luke, who needs a new center to replicate the production of a departed all-ACC player.

Clemson's defense is reloading : Clemson replaces four players from the all-ACC team but the safeties should be a strength. The Tigers have long enjoyed elite defensive lines but three starters from last year departed for the NFL . Defensive ends  T.J. Parker and Peter Woods are the new stalwarts up front. Parker started three games last season and was a freshman All-American while leading the team with 5.5 sacks. Woods moved from tackle to end in the spring.

Trevor Etienne's status in doubt : Questions still surround Georgia running back Trevor Etienne's availability for the opener and whether he will be suspended for a DUI arrest in March. The Florida transfer was expected to take over as the workhorse following the departures of Dijon Edwards and Kendall Milton, who combined for nearly 4,000 rushing yards in their career. Roderick Robinson II , the team's returning leader in rushing yards (196 yards and two touchdowns) is expected to miss the opener after undergoing toe surgery. If Etienne sits for any time, look for sophomore Branson Robinson  to start. He rushed for 330 yards as a freshman in 2022, but missed all of last year with a ruptured patella tendon

Georgia vs. Clemson prediction, picks

Clemson needs to find a way to stretch the field and be more explosive than it has in recent years. That's up to quarterback Cade Klubnik to produce — and limit turnovers — but the other issue is in the red zone, where the Tigers ranked 118th in inversions last season. Georgia has more firepower offensively and defensively, but with uncertainty at running back for Georgia, there is an opening here for Clemson's new-look defensive line to get pressure on Carson Beck and also slow the Bulldogs' rushing attack. Pick: Clemson +13.5
