Dead or on the lamb?

The sinking reason seems to have changed from a tornado to a waterspout to possible manslaughter. This was from yesterday (August 23rd)

Some points that the owner of the company that built the yacht, from the linked article;


He even states this tid-bit in the article,

Given that the Captain was used to operating this yacht, and had done so for 8 years, one has to wonder if he didn't get paid off to look the other way or even do the deed himself on this. I think the sale of Autonomy Corporation PLC to Hewlett-Packard might need a bit more digging into.

Yeah, I'm pretty skeptical about the waterspout excuse. They were out on the sea where they could literally navigate in any direction to get away from it, but managed to take a direct hit? I'm not sure what the odds are on that, but they've gotta be about 1:1000000000. The failure to make proper preparations on the boat is also suspect. An 8 year captain should know better.

There's more to this story, especially if it took 16 minutes for the boat to sink. It will be interesting to see what the toxicology results are for the deceased.
