The Tragic Halt of "Bayesian's" Recovery: Diver's Demise
Suspension of Bayesian's Recovery Indefinitely
The recovery of the seemingly invincible superyacht, "Bayesian," has hit a significant snag. A diver's untimely demise has ensnared the operation, sending it into an indefinite halt. The British company, TMC Marine, spearheading the recovery, cites the ongoing investigations into the diver's grim end as the main reason for the suspension.
The Dutch diver, age 39, was recovered lifeless from the depths after a dive on a chilling Friday. Italian news agency ANSA intimates that the diver might have been struck by a metal fragment while working with a cutting torch, though initial speculations pointed towards a heart attack or a malfunctioning oxygen tank.
Insight: The exact cause of the diver's death is yet to be determined by local authorities[1][2].
The calamitous sinking of the "Bayesian" made international headlines last summer on the Italian Mediterranean island. The 56-meter vessel sank during a storm, claiming seven lives[2][3]. Since then, the wreckage has lain around 50 meters deep on the seabed, only a kilometer from the coast.
Insight: The recovery operation is a complex, expensive endeavor, with costs estimated in millions of euros[3].
One cannot ignore the numerous speculations surrounding the cause of the disaster. Investigations are ongoing against the captain and two other crew members, accused of heeding storm warnings and abandoning ship, saving themselves while others perished[3].
The "Bayesian," tipping the scales at 473 tons, was one of the largest sailing yachts globally. Camera footage taken underwater shows the wreck relatively intact on the right side, now awaiting the resumption of recovery operations[3].
