How tech mogul's party to celebrate beating multi-billion fraud charges turned to tragedy in an instantMike Lynch's wife describes cutting her feet on broken glass as she fled doomed superyacht Bayesian “There was a big thunderstorm just to the north of Sicily, a lot of lightning activity, lot of heavy rain, very strong signature of what we call ‘cold cloud tops’ on the satellite pictures.
