The dramatic footage of Steve Jobs’ $140 million Venus superyacht colliding with the $250 million superyacht Lady Moura off the coast of Italy has gone viral after the incident happened last month. The video was captured by Lady Moura’s owner, Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas, who can be heard shouting desperately to grab the attention of the crew of the 78.2-metre Feadship superyacht Venus. A representative of Salinas has now released a statement explaining the event that led to the collision of the two superyachts.

The wife of British billionaire Mike Lynch described her harrowing escape from their 184-foot superyacht before it capsized and sank during a squall of the coast of Sicily.

Angela Bacares made it to safety along with 15 other passengers after the violent tempest struck just after 4 a.m. Monday, consuming her sailing yacht Bayesian amidst a tower of tornado-waterspouts.

The 57-year-old described how she was woken early that morning after the boat “tilted” sharply, and after initially thinking nothing was wrong found herself showered in broken glass, according to Italy’s La Republica.
