Italian rescuers brought ashore the body of the final missing person who was on a superyacht that sunk off the coast of Sicily.

The woman’s body was detected on Friday, the Coast Guard said. She has not been officially identified, but Hannah Lynch, the 18-year-old daughter of British tech magnate Mike Lynch, is reportedly unaccounted for. The Lynch family was aboard The Bayesian, a 56-meter (184-foot) British-flagged yacht, when went down in a storm early Monday.

Civil protection officials said they believe the ship was struck by a tornado over the water, known as a waterspout, and sank quickly.

    This was definitely a hit and not a water spout.

    If that’s true then some evil supervillain or governmental three-letter-agency has a working severe weather machine. The yacht was visible on a nearby security camera, and it disappears as fierce rain & waves obscure it.

      I was thinking small controlled explosives disguised as damage from the storm but your idea is way cooler tbh.
