How £14m yacht Bayesian sank as screaming Brit passengers crammed into lifeboat after mast collapsed & vessel capsized

One man’s error is another man’s Titanic! In an unforeseeable catastrophe, an affluent group fell prey to a terrifying moment when their stunning Italian superyacht sank near an idyllic Greek holiday island. The weather turned, leaving the crew with little time to close the door. This misstep—leaving a side door open—resulted in the sinking of the 150-foot megayacht ‘Ethos.’

A dream superyacht charter turned into a nightmare when a crew member left a door open, eventually sinking the $55 million vessel. An affluent group had rented the 150-footer for $180,000 a week in Greece.

Mako sharks are apex predators who terrorize their ocean prey with their speed and power. Found up and down both coasts of the United States, and down into the Caribbean, over near Hawaii, and pretty much everywhere in between, these predators can reach lengths of 12 feet, and weigh up to 1,000 pounds. They use their razor sharp teeth to eat tuna, swordfish and squid, and with a top speed of over 45 miles per hour, they are the fastest of any shark species.

Their insane speeds also allow them to make some incredible leaps, coming fully out of the water. Sounds like a sport fisherman’s dream, right? Well... until they take your catch.

For a group of anglers off the coast of the California, the tax man came in August. The group was hooked into a bluefin tuna near San Diego, reeled it to the boat, gaffed it, and out of nowhere, a big ol' mako shark came to snag a bite.
