Rescue teams are gearing up for a critical mission to enter the sleeping cabin of a sunken yacht off the coast of Sicily in search of six missing individuals. The yacht, which went down in the early hours of Monday, has presented challenges to rescue efforts due to debris blocking access to the interior.
Divers are being assisted by remote controlled vehicles that can navigate the seabed, allowing for extended search capabilities in the murky waters surrounding the sunken vessel. Among those missing are notable figures such as British tech tycoon Mike Lynch and his daughter Hannah, as well as Morgan Stanley International chairman Jonathan Bloomer and his wife Judy. Also missing are lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife Neda.
The search for the individuals has entered its third day, with hopes high that the rescue teams will be able to penetrate the sleeping cabin on Wednesday. Authorities remain determined to locate the missing persons and bring them to safety as soon as possible.
As the rescue efforts continue, the families and loved ones of those missing are anxiously awaiting news of their whereabouts. The situation remains tense as the clock ticks on, but with the dedication and expertise of the rescue teams, there is optimism that a breakthrough may soon be achieved.
