Mike Lynch’s wife walked on broken glass to escape sinking superyacht Bayesian: report
- Six people, including the billionaire and his daughter, remain missing, while one body has been recovered
Speaking to Italy’s La Repubblica, Angela Bacares said that she and her husband were woken up at 4am (local time) on Monday when the yacht, the Bayesian, “tilted”.
The 57-year-old told the publication that they initially weren’t worried, and she got out of bed to see what was happening. Glass then shattered, causing confusion.
Bacares sustained injuries to her feet likely caused by walking on broken glass during the sinking, the outlet reported.
The injuries have confined her to a wheelchair, and she also has bandages on other parts of her body, the report said.
The 183ft superyacht was carrying 22 people when it capsized early on Monday morning while docked outside the Sicilian port of Porticello. Six people, including Lynch and his daughter, remain missing, while one body has been recovered, local media reported.
Italian news agency Ansa reported that the vessel capsized when a sea tornado, or waterspout, hit the area during sudden storms.
