A 130-foot yacht sunk off the coast of Italy on Sunday.
The Italian Coast Guard, Guardia Costiera, captured a video of the super yacht, My Saga, capsizing 9 miles from the Catanzaro Marina on the country’s southwestern coast, posting the video on Twitter on Monday. The cause of the yacht’s demise is still under investigation, according to the Guardia Costiera.
There were nine people on board at the time, including an Italian crew, that were all rescued before My Saga completely sunk stern first. The Port Authority of Crotone was alerted to water entering the yacht Saturday night.
