Luxury yacht sinks off Sicily

For those being suspicious - there is footage from a beach side cafe from when the storm hit the cost. Carnage. From flags fluttering moderately to them being (and everything else) being chucked about despite the ballast in the bases - in the blink of an eye. It looks like it was blowing well over 100mph. You wouldn't dare go out on the street in that never mind get in a huge sailboat on the open sea.

If they had any sail up and the captain was off guard for about 5 seconds, it's all too easy to believe it turned catastrophic in the blink of an eye. Its a huge vessel - 150ft, 3 times your normal cruiser, and whilst there's ballast and much design work gone into it to guarantee stability, the draft seems shallow and it has open deck areas covered with canopies at the rear, and solid roof at the front - perhaps the wind whipped under these once the boat starts to broach.
There will be no such factual sense here. It was murder and conspiracy! (Again).
 
The majority of real professional hits are made to look like accidents or suicide for obvious reasons, ie no investigations.
I know that stretch of road too well as my parents live in the same Fen village. Hard to believe anyone jogs on the A1123, though you might be crossing the road on a walk along the Cam to Ely, and cars do fly along that stretch.

Cambridgeshire news report a 48 year old woman from a nearby village woman stopped at the scene and helping police with inquiries so doesn't obviously sound like a hit and run, just hugely coincidental.

They've also said it "was at anchor", so in theory attached to the sea bed, meaning it couldn't move very far in the winds. A waterspout is 10's of feet wide generally, with rotating winds, so a 170 foot long boat could easily have had winds blowing in opposite directions at each end, and also the keel (stabiliser) may not have been fully lowered.

I said yesterday it was just incredibly bad luck to get caught in a waterspout, the time of day wouldn't have helped either, with many sleeping in their cabins, and it's possible nobody saw it coming, it's needle in a haystack sort of luck.
 
Anyone seen Jason Bourne recently? Sounds like hitmen have been out and about after these Autonomy boys.

Wonder what they’ve been up to and who they’ve upset?

Huge sums of money involved in their court cases, which they won. That would have put some very powerful and wealthy people's noses out of joint.
