In a dramatic turnover of events, a luxury yacht worth almost $ 1 million sank only 15 minutes after its first voyage from the north coast of Turkey and forced its owner and crew to jump into the water to save itself, New York Post reported.
85-yacht, named Dolce Vento, was just delivered to its owner from Istanbul and was for the first time on Tuesday for the first time near the Eregli district in Zonguldak.
The video captured a shocking moment when the yacht leaned sharply to one side before it slowly immersed in the sea. In the clip, people can hear screaming in panic when the vessel began to fall.
The crew escapes the unharmed
When the ship began to sink, the owner, captain and two crew members quickly jumped overboard and managed to swim safely ashore.
Coast guards and port authorities rushed on the scene and set up a safety circuit around a diving yacht to avoid further accidents.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
Cause of investigation
Officials at the shipyard confirmed that the technical inspection would be carried out to find out what was wrong during the market.
While the exact cause of the incident remains unclear, preliminary reports indicate that the container could have stability or structural problem.
No first recent incident at sea
The sink comes only a few weeks after the fishing ship carrying 11 passengers began to sink Pier 1 in Shepshead Bay in New York. In this case, the NYPD rescue team managed to bring everyone to the safety.
A viral video of the sinking of a luxury yacht has evoked an extensive discussion online with many questions, as such an expensive ship could fail so catastrophically on the first journey.
The user noted, “I think they don’t have solid reliability.”
Another user wrote: “The luxury yacht sank only 15 minutes after its start. Turkey also starts a fighter aircraft, call it kaan and claims to be better than the F-35.”
“What a pity,” the third user said.
