Morgan Stanley International chairman Jonathan Bloomer is among the high-profile individuals missing after a luxury yacht sank during a storm off the coast of Sicily. Alongside Bloomer, UK tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch is also unaccounted for. The tragedy struck while Lynch was celebrating his recent acquittal from fraud charges.
Specialist divers from Palermo’s fire and rescue service have been actively involved in the search and rescue operations. Despite the complexities involved in accessing the 48-meter (157.5 feet) wreckage, which lies submerged off the Sicilian coastline, search efforts have resumed. Salvo Cocina, head of the civil protection agency in Sicily, communicated with Bloomberg, detailing the intricacies and ongoing nature of the rescue mission.
