British tech tycoon Lynch was among seven people who [5]went missing around 5am on Monday off the port of Porticello, on the Italian island of Sicily, after a storm swamped his vessel, according to a [6]statement from the City Council of Bagheria. Twenty-two people were on board the super yacht – 12 passengers and 10 crew, according to multiple reports.

The trip was reportedly intended to celebrate Lynch's [8]acquittal in the long-running US fraud case that followed from HP's 2011 acquisition of his company, Autonomy.
Coincidentally, Lynch's co-defendant, Stephen Chamberlain, who was also acquitted, died the day of the storm after being hit by a car on Saturday morning in Stretham, England.
Angela Bacares, Lynch's wife, was rescued at sea and is recovering.

Canadian Broadcasting Company News has [10]reported that the body of Recaldo Thomas, a Canadian-born man who resided in Antigua and served as the ship's cook, has been recovered.
Other missing individuals have been identified by [11]The Independent as: Christopher Morvillo, a lawyer who had represented Lynch and wife Neda Morvillo; Jonathan Bloomer, chairman of investment bank Morgan Stanley International and wife Judy Bloomer. ®

There's video from the shore of the ship going down in the storm
You ridiculously gullible conspiracy theorist moron!
the timing is impeccable
"same day, both of them"
Oh for god's sake... Grow up. Now we have the CIA conjuring typhoons? FFS...
My money is on the keel having been retracted, and on the captain having some serious explaining to do - soon - about why said keel would have been retracted in such conditions.
As for the US government's involvement - my very reliable sources tell me they planned on unplugging the ice wall surrounding the flat Earth just enough to create a current that would suck the yacht in so it can fall off. They failed because the floating platform where the Moon landing was shot plugged it at the last minute. So they had to go to plan B.
Either that, either the fact that an overwhelming percentage of the people who did not die during the last year had no access to neither yachts, nor jerry-rigged Logitech-controlled submarines.
If the water spout hit the yacht amidships then it could easily have tipped it over regardless of the keel. The power of those spouts can be incredible, causing enough damage and inrush of water to sink the yacht before it could right itself.
Sweet Jesus, here we go again. On 52 meter boat the displacement is going to be north of 200 tonnes, most of which is keel. See eg [1]this one .
By now it's probably obvious where I'm going with this, but I'll spell it out anyway because of the sudden influx of space cadets around here. Monohuill yachts typically do not carry equipment to hoist tens (hundreds?) of thousands of kilograms of lead inward, not least because it would result in an unstable configuration that would immediately lead to capsize. This is not a dinghy or a 20' bilge keeler.

Next you'll be telling me that economy airline seats don't have a [1]"wings fall off" button

What was the bayesian probability of that happening?
God, if he exists, did plenty of messing about in the latter years of the life of Lynch.
"They can't conjure up a storm"
But c'mon, the same day, both of them, and he's on a "trip was reportedly intended to celebrate Lynch's acquittal in the long-running US fraud case " ...
It wasn't near the shore, the storm was a cover - plenty of other ways to sink a ship as if it looks like the storm did it.
HP or the US government behind this, and doing both on the same day is sending a signal to anyone who dares to stand up to US interests.
But ... they can't conjure up a storm, and the car-bike incident was not a hit and run but an accident.
Sure.
Where's Mulder?
