Superyacht Sinking Investigation

[triplets_93]

The chief engineer and a deckhand of Mike Lynch's superyacht that capsized and sank off the coast of Sicily with the loss of seven lives are being investigated by Italian prosecutors for manslaughter.

Tim Parker Eaton, the ship engineer, is under suspicion of failing to protect the engine room and operating systems while Matthew Griffith, the deckhand, is being looked at because he was on night watch duty when the 184-foot Bayesian went down in a freak storm in the early hours of Aug. 19, according to a judicial source quoted by The Independent and The Guardian.

The two Britons join the captain, 51-year-old New Zealander James Cutfield, who was placed under investigation Monday, a day after prosecutors questioned him for two hours about how the vessel sank when experts said it should have been unsinkable if operated correctly.

to start with any expert that says a ship is unsinkable is no expert

What is even crazier is that his co-defendent was killed by a car while jogging. Looks suspicious.

Don't mess around with HP... or Boeing, I guess.

Still say any so called expert claiming no ship can sink is no expert
BUT this series of events is not coincidence.
Still think that unless you show gross incompetence trying to claim someone is guilty of manslaughter smacks of looking for the most convenient fall guy.

How do you guarantee to kill a specific person(s) by sinking a boat? Obviously, there were some survivors from that incident. Unless they kill the person(s) first and then sink the boat to cover it up.
