"It went down, not in one minute as some scientists have said. It went down in 16 minutes," Costantino told the Financial Times. "You can see it from the charts, from the [Automatic Identification System] tracking chart."

Business Insider could not independently verify his statement.

The yacht maker offered no proof, so we'll have to wait and see if it's yet another rich person lying.

Speaking of rich people lying, Mike Lynch and his VP of finance, Stephen Chamberlain, were accused of using fraud to overvalue their company before selling it to HP, who wanted $5b in damages.

They were acquitted last month. Chamberlain was killed by a car while jogging, two days before Lynch's yacht went down.

Jeez. This is why you hire the good ones, unlike those clowns at Boeing with their second stringers.

He’s referring to the AIS tracking system and how long until it stopped broadcasting after the boat whipped around due to the storm. You can look up the AIS and see it yourself too. Both this boat and the one anchored next to it whip around drastically the same time then the Bayesian stoops transmitting, likely because the transmitter is now under water.

I am really starting to get sick and tired of all the excessive news coverage of this, especially in comparison to (for example) a boat full of refugees sinking. The latter is invariably far more tragic, yet tends to garner far less attention.

Right! Oh no some rich poeple weren’t doing proper storm saftey procedures on thier private expensive yacht. Fuck em.

Loss of human life aside, this is a slightly absurd situation.

“The boat sank because it took on water,” Costantino said.

You don’t say! How could this have happened?

One theory is that soaring temperatures in the area caused passengers and crew to leave windows and doors open, which would have allowed water to fill the ship quickly during the storm.

Ah, there it is. Climate change strikes back.

What kind of malfunction do you possess if you keep windows open on a boat, during a storm?

Privilege.

Kinda hard to believe a yacht wouldnt have AC to beat the heat.

There’s large hatches to get tenders (dinghy) in and out like a garage. If left open that’s really bad. The video below also has a comment from someone who’s been in boats by the same company that says there’s a design flaw / feature with a different set of doors that are not for tenders but people (like patio doors) that could slide open when the boat helmed (rocked) in the water spout.

There’s a video of a large sailing yacht in New Zealand getting rocked over almost 90 deg in the linked video as well, that really shows what’s possible in the power of a storm. That boat doesn’t have a folding keel though so it righted itself right away.

Also, the builders may that the mast was much larger than it should be for bragging rights essentially
