Dead or on the lamb?

Also in the article, it mentions that the anchor was down, which in the case of inclement weather, the captain should have raised, along with, lowering the keel (yet to be confirmed), sealing all windows and hatches and assembling the passengers… all precautions that appear to have been disregarded. So, even if he ignored Italy’s Marine weather reports and considering he had been warned about bad weather, specifically by email, it would seem that the sinking was caused by negligence… but that’s for the courts to decide.

That's interesting. I'm not sure if this boat had this or not, but many of these high-end yachts now have alarms and warning signals that alert the bridge crew if a hatch or porthole is opened/open. If the fisherman in the area knew that bad weather was coming the yachts crew should have double checked to ensure that hatches and portholes were also closed.
