So was this a complete freak tornado accident or should everyone with a yacht now be seriously worried?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.
Whatever it was was a freak incident. Anyone with a multimillion dollar sailing yacht might want to make sure not to be caught in the same kind of incident, but I think the majority of us will be just fine
Lynch' and his wife woke up together when the ship was already tilted, and still didn't think much of it. Seems like no alarm was ever sounded.

I don't want to rush to judge but it does seem that some pretty basic procedures weren't followed, given the storm was forecast for the area.
All local fishing vessels stayed in port rather than sailing out into a forecast storm
It seems that main hatches were left open - despite the fact the storm had started.
The central fin was not fully deployed for extra stability in rough seas.
People were apparently in locked cabins rather than in a state of readiness - awake, wearing life vests etc.
The localised severity of the storm might well have taken them by surprise, but even the most basic of preparations for a normal storm would have resulted in many more lives being saved.
Used to watch the reality show "Below Deck", and Captain Sandy, as soon as some very mild alert of bad weather or high winds came up, she would always take the boat back to port or find a safe cove to anchor.
The guests would usually be a bit pissed because their day out at sea was kinda ruined but they are all alive.
Clearly mother nature has declared war on wealth at sea.
There once was a house that put to seaand sea adjacent
The name of the house was Stilty Go Free
The waves blew up her porch dipped down
Oh blow my bully boys blow
I think they tend to think they're invincible and mother nature usually steps in and say "hold my beer"
It's an issue of them knowing that something was off when the yacht was akilter but decided to ignore it.
wait.... is that an actual song or did you just do a quick, and amusing, rewrite of Sea Shanty (or whatever that song is called)?
Yeah that’s me having fun with Wellerman

It wasn't even his yacht, he was renting it for the night apparently.
That's going to be a brutal Seabnb review.
Alright, be careful should you rent a multi million dollar sailing yacht for the night fellow caf members. (I think he possibly rented it from his own shell company?)
What do you make of this????
Wait till they hear about how the CIA used weather control to create and steer an iceberg into the Titanic
My main takeaway is that your man looks like such a gimp that I couldn't watch past 3 seconds.
If he sold the company to HP why is some agency taking him out to get control of the software?
You can start your own company instead of working for others just food for though. Maybe the gleeful sentiments will change when you are on the other side ?
Some shocking posts in this thread.
I'd love to have been a fly on the wall in the secret CIA assassination meeting when they cooked this one up. They have decided that they definitely want to kill Lynch, but of all the possible methods available to them, the option that the assassins pick is the absolutely foolproof Italian sea tornado method.
They've now found the daughter's body, so all are accounted for.
Why are you conflating “billionaires” with “employers”?
Given that she hasn't inherited yet I guess the caf is alright with me saying rest in peace.
First summer as an adult, poor girl.
At least with the depth it is at and the other clientele interested in this case we are pretty much certain to find out exactly how it happened.
Billionaires are employers. The scale is different.
Right but while all billionaires are employers, not all employers are billionaires. Ergo it’s daft to say that because you are opposed to the concept of extreme wealth, logically you are therefore against the idea of being an employee.
My employer is B-Corp certified and I support how they operate. Yvon Chouinard knows the score, nobody needs to be that wealthy so he gave it away to a non-profit.
Just like most conspiracy theories it doesn't stand up to much scrutiny. If the people had followed the most basic seafaring principles with the threat of a nearby storm they would have easily been able to be rescued.
Just like the Diana conspiracy falls down when you just point out that the only person wearing a seatbelt in the car survived the crash.
My point is just because someone is a billionaire doesn't mean we should be happy when he dies. How he distributes his wealth is a personal choice. Unless that wealth is accumulated by doing something against the law the employees have the option to find another job or leave the company if they see their compensation being low compared to the input they put in. When you sign on the dotted line you know what you should expect and not expect someone to give them something extra because the company does well.
We all have seen large companies gone to dust because of bad management, greedy owners, you name it. The market usually corrects itself which is why I'm all for capitalism, compared to other options.
When a company goes down under the state won't back you up, whilst getting unemployed you are on benefits, with the money coming from some of those multi billion companies.
Poor girl, just set to enjoy life and it’s snuffed out
I agree. It is a weird coincidence though that both partners died within a week of each other
The tributes from friends are very touching. She really seemed to be a very special young woman, and extremely intelligent like her father.
Yeah, but similar to that kid who lost his life with his dad in that submarine to the Titanic.
Seems having a billionaire dad is a life risk in strange ways.
Unlike the submersible, where I’d imagine you are aware of the risk, I couldn’t imagine that they thought there was much risk in the yacht. A lesson for everyone
The difference here is that you'd think you'd be safe, sleeping just offshore in a big anchored yacht. I mean, the Titanic sub disaster was always going to be a massive risk.
Sounds like his mast was too big.
Apparently this is now a murder investigation.
I thought manslaughter?
The Italians use some term akin to involuntary murder for what English calls manslaughter.
Yes, it is manslaughter, the working theory seems to be the ship had not been shut down properly for the night, i.e the "hatches had not been batterned-down" and/or the keel not positioned as required in such a mooring.
If this is found to be the case, then it's likely the Ship's captain and senior crew may faces manslaughter charges.
I don't know the terminology of Italian justice system, I just know that Norwegian media called it murder because that's what we call it in Norway.
