All the accused leave Italy, only the wreckage of the ship remains...
That night the fishermen of Porticello had decided not to go out to sea. Lots of lightning, lots of wind. The sky had been lit continuously since eleven o'clock in the evening. Anchored in the harbour, the Bayesian was a beautiful image with its 75 meter mast flashing. "The sailboat arrived before dark and anchored about 300 meters from the marina entrance," says fisherman Giovanni Lo Coco who was there.
First question: anchoring
This is the first question, in chronological order: why didn't Commander James Cutfield look for a safer place in view of the approaching storm? "But it was not foreseen," he said the day after the shipwreck. "Yes, there was no such alarm", Raffaele Macauda, the commander of the coast guard, came to his aid. "Beyond the bulletins, those who do this work know very well what the dangers are when the sea is so warm and there is a cold front - scratched the commander for a long time Dudi Coletti - We have been working for days, he wrote between the captains, we are careful of violent and unexpected events".
It happened that in the middle of the night, the disturbance that many saw as distant, hit the port. The Ais tracking system, which links on-board instruments to shore stations, calculated the time between the arrival of the high tide (at 3.50am) and the disappearance of the last centimeter of the sailing vessel below the surface of the sea as just 16 minutes.
Second question: delayed alarm and the sabotage thesis
Here is the second question from the investigators, which highlights the Bayesian sailor, the twenty-two-year-old Frenchman Matthew Griffiths He was alert: why didn't he raise the alarm and wake everyone up in time? In the end, the death toll from the tragedy went to 7, all passengers (except the cook). Among those who didn't make it were British tycoon Mike Lynch and his daughter Hannah, Morgan Stanley's international president Jonathan Bloomer and his wife Elizabeth Judith, Lynch's American lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife Neda, a jewelry designer.
Even if Bayeisan is registered in the name of Angela Maria Bacares, Lynch's wife, the reference is to him, fifty-nine-year-old very rich, very powerful Michael Lynch, known as Mike. Founder of IT empire Autonomy, later sold to Hewlett-Packard for $11 billion. Lynch was considered the Bill Gates of London. He had a specialty: cyber defense. Twenty billion dollars invested and a thousand secret service relationships around the world. A detail that immediately ignited the most obscure hypothesis: was there perhaps a small hand behind the sinking of the ship? Investigators don't believe it. It's hard to see a dark conspiracy in the presence of such an extraordinary weather event.
Third question: crew and casualties
Instead, they point the finger elsewhere: why did almost the entire crew survive and all the victims be passengers? "Captains, sailors and flight attendants are young, well-prepared and fast, others a little less (however, eighteen-year-old Hannah was also there)," recalls the defense. "Maybe," the investigator suspects.
Another question: how is it possible that a yacht considered unsinkable, at least according to those who built it in 2018, sank in just a few minutes? "Unbreakable if everything is closed and doesn't get water," specified Giovanni Costantino, CEO of the company that owns Perini.
Question four: engine room
So where could the water have come from? "We have to take into account the angle of flooding - adds Edwards - That is, the degree of flooding of the boat from which water begins to enter, endangering its stability". In the case of Bayeisan it would be 40-45 degrees, not much. "At that angle, water will start coming in, usually through the engine room." Therefore, for Edwards, the sailing ship was not so unsinkable.
The third suspect appears: he is Chief Engineer Tim Parker Eaton, in charge of all the heavy equipment on board, the generators and the wheelhouse. Camera footage shows the mast of the sailboat sticking out before it tilts over the water. “Does the generator have anything to do with it? Engine room?” Costantino asks. Could Parker Eaton have prevented it?
Fifth question: emergency rocket
Finally, the emergency rocket. She was fired from the lifeboat at 4:16 a.m., when the ship was already nearly under water. Why so much delay? "Significant technical investigations will be needed to reconstruct this complex scene," concluded lawyer Mario Scopesi, defending Parker Eaton. While his clients were packing their suitcases for Palermo airport. In Porticello, only the sailing ship is left, at the bottom of the sea. / Adapted "Pamphlet" from Corriere Della Sera"
