Divers recover 5 bodies from wrecked superyacht off Sicily; 1 still missing

Associated Press  

PORTICELLO, Sicily — Divers searching the wreck of a superyacht that sank off Sicily found the bodies of five passengers Wednesday, leaving one still missing as questions intensified about why the vessel sank so quickly when a nearby sailboat remained largely unscathed. Costantino cited AIS ship tracking data which he said showed the Bayesian had taken on water for four minutes when a sudden gust of wind flipped it and it continued taking on water. “It sounds like they’re operating essentially on no decompression or very tight decompression, or they’re being extremely conservative,” he said. “We are trying to advance in tight spaces, but any single thing slows us down,” said Luca Cari, spokesman for the fire rescue service.
