yacht says it took 16 minutes to sink and the crew should

Giovanni Costantino, the CEO of the Italian Sea Group, which owns Perini Navi, the firm that built the Bayesian in 2008, said the ship was "designed to be absolutely stable" as it had the second-tallest mast in the world. "The torture lasted 16 minutes. It went down, not in one minute as some scientists have said. It went down in 16 minutes," Costantino told the Financial Times. "You can see it from the charts, from the [Automatic Identification System] tracking chart." Business Insider could not independently verify his statement, and Costantino did not immediately return requests for comment. Costantino added that the yacht's skipper "should have locked everything up, saying: "He should have gathered all passengers in the safe point. This is protocol. No one should have been in their cabin." In an interview on Thursday with Reuters, Costantino placed the blame for the deadly tragedy on the yacht's crew members, saying that they made the "incredible mistake" of not being prepared for the powerful storm that rolled in.

Maryland police officer convicted

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Maryland police officer was convicted on Friday of charges that he joined a mob's Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol and hurled a smoke bomb and other objects at police officers guarding a tunnel entrance. U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden heard two days of trial testimony without a jury this week before he found Montgomery County Police Officer Justin Lee guilty of two felonies and three misdemeanors. The judge, who also acquitted Lee of two other misdemeanors, is scheduled to sentence him on Nov. 22. Lee, 26, ignited and threw a smoke bomb into the tunnel entrance on the Capitol's Lower West Terrace, where a mob of rioters attacked a group of outnumbered police officers. The device struck a police officer's riot shield and filled the mouth of the tunnel with a large plume of smoke, prosecutors said. “No police officer should have to endure these attacks and provocations,” McFadden said.
