Millionaire Superyacht: Why Ships Sink

During intense storms, the 54m Bayesian superyacht mysteriously sunk off the coast of Sicily, resulting in the death of seven people who were onboard. As search and rescue teams scoured the coast for survivors, questions began to be asked. Why did a multi-million-pound superyacht sink when others nearby didn’t? Could its record-breaking mast have made it more vulnerable to strong winds? The film forensically examines what went wrong and asks whether more needs to be done to keep ships safe at sea. Eyewitnesses, first responders, a former captain of the Bayesian and a retired MAIB principal investigator detail what happened.
