The sinking of the 56-meter yacht Bayesian off the coast of Porticello has raised serious questions about human error and safety protocols.

On Monday, the vessel sank in less than a minute after being hit by a severe storm, with winds exceeding 100 km/h.

Investigations reveal that the crew had ample warning of the worsening weather conditions, yet failed to take necessary precautions.

The yacht's instability was exacerbated by an open port side hatch and raised mobile keel, leading to its rapid descent.

Seven lives were lost in the tragedy, and scrutiny is now focused on the actions of the captain and first officer.

Authorities are also considering the legal obligations of the owner to recover the wreck, as the incident highlights a chain of human errors and underestimation of the storm's severity.
