The Fox News coverage literally mirrored the movie “White Squall” about captain Christopher Sheldon’s teaching vessel, the brigantine schooner, the Albatross based on a true story of a rogue near mystical sudden storm sinking the ship. “It was as if a giant hand took hold of us” … in 15 seconds the Albatross was on its side. In 60 seconds it filled with water. And then it was gone ~ The ocean calm.” stated in Sheldon’s mariners trial and 1996 interview. A white squall according to sailers is “a short sharp storm of wind” meteorologists call a microburst.”
Kinda sounds like the Bayesian mystical “black swan” freak waterspout weather anomaly, the death of owner-billionaire Mike Lynch… combined with media mogul Robert Maxwell sudden “mysterious accidental drowning” off his 50 meter yaght, “Lady Ghislaine”… hmmmm curiouser and curiouser….
Yes, give me a break. They were targeted. That water spout story was too dangerous for the killers. They needed something much more subtle to sell to the masses. Thanks, Jeff.
Sailing craft like the Bayesian are super difficult to sink if the water tight hatches are closed. Many craft like these are designed to submerge, roll and right themselves. The crew would know this, and I don’t buy the gross incompetence of the crew theory either.
Al.. I get it… I’m still digging… my curiosity is from crewing a gaff rigged three masted schooner in Maine October wind and treacherous waters… literally anything can happen… I agree 100% Lynch was targeted…
