Dive teams carry out searches of Bayesian yacht's wreck
Palermo (Italy), 20/08/2024.- A handout video grab made available by Vigili del Fuoco shows cave divers from the Italian fire brigade as they prepare to resume inspections of the Bayesian yacht's wreck, off the coast of Sicily island, southern Italy, 20 August 2024. At least one person died, six remain missing and 15 passengers were rescued, after a 56-meter-long luxury sailboat, the Bayesian, with 22 people on board, sank on 19 August off Porticello, near Palermo, after a tornado hit the area. The six missing people have not yet been identified as dive teams are trying to find access into the yacht's cabins, sitting at 50 m below the surface of the water. Divers face considerable difficulties at this depth, carrying out 10-minute searches per dive, Luca Cari, head of emergency communications of the general command of the Fire Brigade, said.
