  2. And this killer captain in killer crew are the ones to go to prison. He's incompetent crew and this is the industry as a whole they cover up these mistakes of killing and sinking boats they should never work on a boat again in their lives😢😮

  3. And now we know why they were killed: "Italian newspaper la Repubblica reported that the tech billionaire, whose clients included MI5, the NSA and the Israeli secret service, didn’t trust confidential documents on the cloud and kept two encrypted hard drives in a safe which now lies 49 metres below sea level."

  4. Classified documents in the US and elsewhere are not allowed "in-the-cloud". That wouldn't be a personal decision on Mike Lynch's part. That's an odd detail to get wrong and makes me doubt the validity of these reports.

  7. I am so tired of hearing stories like this??
    Why will nobody step out & answer how the crew ALL got INTO the LIFERAFT /SAFE & sound!! Why the guests were not warned of storm, why the Captain was sleeping PEACEFULLY in his cabin… THEN FOUND HIMSELF in the liferaft.
    Explain the difference of the other sailboat captain?!?!

  8. Were the crew are 100% to blame for these murders. Does captain and crew waited to 16 minutes for a massive storm to hit a boat and did nothing to prepare for it they didn't have drills done they didn't have life vest on they let that boat sink and it's a tragedy but this is 10 mm out to murder. It's not just the captain who needs to go to prison for this but the crew as well😮😢

  10. Even just a 5 or 10 minute warning by the crew or captain would or could have saved those who died. They should have been alerted by the crew not snuggled away in bed.
