義大利西西里島海岸於凌晨周一(19日)發生沉船事件,一艘豪華遊艇在行駛時遇上水龍捲,整艘船沉入海中,導致6人失蹤,據搜救人員透露,6名失蹤者可能卡在船艙內,目前義大利海岸警衛隊正全力擴大搜索失聯者。
Specialist divers continue to search for six people missing, including British tech magnate Mike Lynch after a luxury yacht sank off the coast of the Italian island of Sicily in the early hours of Monday morning.
週一凌晨,一艘豪華遊艇在義大利西西里島海岸沉沒,專業潛水員持續搜尋六名失蹤人員,其中包括英國科技大亨麥克林奇。
The 56m vessel was carrying 22 people including 12 passengers and 10 crew. Fifteen people were rescued and six people missing. Rescue crews said they assume the missing six are in those cabins because the storm struck when most would be sleeping.
這艘 56m長的船隻載有 22 人,包含12 名乘客和 10 名船員。15人獲救,6名失蹤。救援人員表示,他們認為失蹤的六人就在那些艙室裡,因為風暴襲擊時大多數人正在睡覺。
The yacht, named Bayesian, encountering a heavy storm overnight that caused waterspouts, or rotating columns of air, to appear over the sea. It is believed the ship was struck by a waterspout, and sank quickly.
這艘名為貝葉斯的遊艇在夜間遭遇暴風雨,導致海面上出現水龍捲或旋轉的氣柱,並迅速沉沒。據信這艘船是被水龍捲襲擊並很快沉沒的。
The luxury sailboat was about 50 meters underwater that is far deeper than most recreational divers are certified for and a depth. Recovery crews could only stay for 12-minute shifts, a measure that slowed efforts to reach the inside of the wreck.
這艘豪華帆船沉沒於50米深的水下,遠比大多數休閒潛水員認證的深度還要深。救援人員只能停留 12 分鐘,這措施減慢了進入沉船內部的救援進度。
Divers tag-teamed the shifts and were using a remote-controlled underwater vehicle, to help in the search. They hadn’t been able to access the below-deck cabins because they were blocked by furniture that shifted during the ship was struck.
潛水員分班輪班,並使用遙控水下航行器來幫助搜尋。他們無法進入甲板下的船艙,因為船隻遭襲擊時,家具發生移動擋住了船艙。
