A ship’s captain has told Sky News of the terrifying moments a luxury yacht capsized in a violent storm off the coast of Sicily, leaving six people missing.
Karsten Borner said his team managed to tow a life raft with 15 people and a baby to safety after they escaped the sinking boat.
But he said both those who survived the tragedy and members of the rescue team were left traumatised by the event.
Mr Borner said the storm was the most violent he had seen in the area for 40 years.
Tech boss Mike Lynch and his daughter are among those missing.
