UK tech tycoon among six missing after yacht sinks

Quick Summary:

A total 22 people were on board the superyacht when it went down off the coast of Sicily.

A doctor based at the Di Cristina Hospital in Palermo, where some of the survivors were taken, said they were "very tired" and "constantly asking about the missing people".

Local media reported the yacht, named Bayesian, capsized at about 05:00 local time after encountering a heavy storm overnight that caused waterspouts, or rotating columns of air, to appear over the sea.
