The Suspended Salvage of the "Bayesian": Unraveling the Mystery Aboard
Indefinite suspension of 'Bayesian' recovery operations
A twist in the tale of the "Bayesian," once dubbed indestructible, unfolds as the salvage operation remains indefinitely halted after a diver's untimely demise. The Dutch diver, aged 39, met tragedy while conducting a dive on a frigid Friday.
The UK-based company TMC Marine, spearheading the operation, has paused the works, citing the necessity for investigating the diver's cause of death. Following the grim incident, the diver couldn't be revived upon his recovery from the water depths.
Though initial assumptions pointed towards a heart attack or a malfunctioning oxygen tank, recent reports from the Italian news agency Ansa suggest that the diver might have been struck by a metallic piece while working with a cutting torch. The pertinent details await confirmation from the autopsy results.
The Complex Rescue Mission: The Diver's Fateful Dive
The global headlines were abuzz last summer as the "Bayesian" met its tragic demise nestled off the Italian Mediterranean coastline's shores. Seven lives perished, ushering in a challenging salvage operation. The colossal vessel now lies at a depth of approximately 50 meters, around one kilometer from the shore, making recovery an intricate, costly endeavor.
Rumors swirl about the incident's cause. The 56-meter yacht succumbed to a storm in mid-August, capsizing within mere minutes[1][2]. Among the deceased were British software tycoon Mike Lynch, his 18-year-old daughter, and various couples of friends, accompanied by the ship's cook. The crew, save for the cook, successfully evacuated[3][4]. In total, 15 crew members and guests managed to survive.
The investigations into the accident's causes are ongoing, and even the intelligence community has entered the discussion. Lynch held ties with several international intelligence entities through one of his corporations. Presently, the captain and two other crew members are under scrutiny for allegedly ignoring storm warnings and prioritizing their own safety[3].
The "Bayesian," weighing 473 tons, was one of the world's largest sailing vessels. Submerged footage reveals that the wreck remains reasonably intact on the starboard side[2][4]. The salvage operation was delayed several times prior to the suspension, with earlier reports indicating a mid-June completion[2][4].
