00:00Imagine a luxury yacht, the Bajan, cruising off the coast of Sicily.
00:04But in a blink of an eye, a deadly storm strikes and tragedy unfolds.
00:08Five lives lost, one still missing, and countless questions left unanswered.
00:13So, what really happened? The Bajan was a marvel of modern engineering,
00:17built for luxury and safety. Yet, in just a few minutes, it capsized and sank.
00:23Investigators are now piecing together the events that led to this disaster,
00:27focusing on three key questions. First, the keel, a crucial part of the yacht's stability.
00:32Was it up, down, or somewhere in between? The yacht was found at a depth where the
00:36keel didn't need to be retracted, so why was it? Experts believe that even if the keel wasn't
00:42fully extended, something far more catastrophic must have occurred.
00:45Second, the weather. Yes, a storm was forecasted, but a waterspout.
00:50That's a whole different beast. Waterspouts are rare,
00:54and the idea that one might have hit the Bajan directly is mind-boggling.
00:58Could this have been a freak accident, a so-called black swan event that no one could have predicted?
01:02Lastly, how did the boat sink so quickly? With water rushing in from all angles,
01:07the crew had mere minutes to react. Was there anything they could have done differently,
01:12or was the yacht doomed the moment the storm hit? As investigators search for answers,
01:17we're left with a chilling reminder of nature's power. Was this a tragic accident,
01:21or could it have been prevented?
