Italy is expanding their investigation into a sinking superyacht.
The shortage of treatment options is having a devastating impact on the health of the nation. Recently, Italian prosecutors have launched an investigation into the tragic sinking of the superyacht, Bayesian, off the coast of Sicily last week. This incident resulted in the loss of seven lives. According to their lawyer, two more crew members have been placed under investigation on Friday.

This development has expanded the scope of the investigation into the tragic shipwreck. The captain, James Cutfield from New Zealand, was already under investigation for possible charges of manslaughter and culpable shipwreck. However, the engineer in charge of securing the yacht's engine room, Tim Parker Eaton, and the sailor on watch duty on the night of the disaster, Matthew Griffith, have also been added to the list of possible suspects.

Their lawyer, Mario Scopesi, has stated that the extent of their potential responsibilities is still unclear as the investigation is in its early stages. He also mentioned that both Parker Eaton and Griffith have already left Italy along with the captain and the rest of the crew. These three crew members were among the 15 survivors of the incident that took place on August 19, claiming the lives of British tech magnate Mike Lynch, his daughter Hannah, and five others.

Chief prosecutor Ambrogio Cartosio, who is leading the investigation, has stated that his team will thoroughly examine all possible factors that could have contributed to the sinking of the yacht. This includes the captain, the crew, individuals responsible for supervision, and the yacht's manufacturer.

In a separate incident, scientists have made a shocking discovery in the Himalayan ice. They have found thousands of viruses that are 41,000 years old. This has raised concerns about the potential risks of these ancient viruses being released into the environment due to climate change.

The Bayesian, a 56-meter luxury yacht with a British flag, sank near Sicily in the Mediterranean Sea. Investigators are trying to understand how a sailing vessel that was deemed "unsinkable" by its manufacturer, Italian shipyard Perini Navi, ended up sinking while a nearby sailboat remained mostly unharmed. Prosecutors have suggested that the cause could have been a "downburst," which is a powerful wind that descends from a thunderstorm and spreads rapidly upon hitting the ground.

Fortunately, all the crew members survived, except for the chef. However, six passengers were tragically trapped in the yacht's hull and lost their lives. This incident has sparked a nationwide discussion about the safety measures and regulations in the luxury yacht industry.
