PORTICELLO, Sicily (AP) — Rescue teams and divers were returning to the site of a storm-sunken superyacht off Sicily on Tuesday to search for six people...
Divers were loading a rescue dinghy at the port of Porticello, near Palermo, after a first search Monday ended unsuccessfully. Fire rescue crews reported that divers were unable to access the below-deck cabins because they were blocked by debris that had shifted during the violent storm that toppled the luxury sailboat early Monday.
The search was made particularly difficult because the ship was resting on the seabed at a depth of 50 meters, which limits the amount of time divers can be underwater, said fire rescue spokesperson Luca Cari. As a result, the search is expected to take time, he told The Associated Press early Tuesday.
Among the survivors was Charlotte Golunski, who said she momentarily lost hold of her 1-year-old daughter Sofia in the water, but then managed to hold her up over the waves until a lifeboat inflated and they were both pulled to safety, Italian news agency ANSA reported. The father, identified by ANSA as James Emslie, also survived.
Malaysia's Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim arrived in New Delhi and was welcomed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday. It is Ibrahim’s first visit to India since taking office in 2022. President Joe Biden received a hero's welcome on the opening night of the Democratic National Convention Monday as he delivered an address designed to be a handoff from the incumbent president to his hand-picked successor.
