Rescue divers managed to enter the hull of the doomed Bayesian superyacht that belongs to tech tycoon Mike Lynch.
The divers smashed their way through in the hopes of carrying out a desperate rescue mission as the race against the clock began to hunt for any survivors.
So far, no one has been found as a frantic rescue mission began on the day the shocking news was published. Meanwhile, the boat’s head chef’s remains were found floating alongside the vessel.
The shocking reports spoke about how despite reaching the hull, they couldn’t enter the ship’s cabins where the six passengers were said to be missing and as minutes passed by, hopes decreased of finding anyone alive.
The team of firefighters managed to break into the superyacht’s body after making use of jacks to crack into thick glass as reported by local media outlets.
The rescuers did get access to the common areas of the 184-foot-long luxury vessel but are yet to achieve success in getting into the cabins. This is where the British billionaire and five other passengers could be hiding or clinging to air pockets as per one expert.
Another report spoke about how entrances to these regions could be blocked and that’s why the divers are finding it difficult to break in. Meanwhile, investigators did unveil the great challenges of this rescue mission and how drastic weather conditions are making it hard to see.
Other than that, the position of the superyacht which is said to be resting 160 feet below the water surface is another factor that served as an added hurdle. Due to this intense depth, rescuers can not stay underwater for too long. Hence, the mission might take hours, sources explained.
