Mike Lynch, a prominent British tech entrepreneur, his family, and several associates were involved in a yacht accident off the Sicilian coast on Monday. His wife, Angela Bacares, was rescued, but Lynch and his daughter, Hannah, remain unaccounted for.
The opulent sailboat was anchored just off Porticello, near Palermo, when a violent waterspout struck the area shortly before 5 am. The waterspout completely destroyed the vessel and caused it to plunge beneath the waves quickly.
