On September 2, local time, on the coast of Zonguldak in northern Türkiye, a luxury yacht sank unexpectedly after being launched into the water on the day of delivery. Video from the scene showed that the yacht, Dolce Vento, was pushed to the launch ramp by a large machine and then slowly slid down the sea.
But what was unexpected was that just a few minutes after the yacht was launched, it tilted and fell on the sea.In the end, the yacht sank in the sea 15 minutes after it was launched.
It is understood that the yacht named Dolce Vento is about 85 feet long.It was built by Med Yilmaz Shipyard at a cost of approximately US$940,000.
After the yacht capsized, the people on board immediately jumped into the water and swam to the shore to escape. The owner and captain also jumped into the sea to survive. Fortunately no one was injured and the cause of the accident is under investigation.
This matter has also attracted the attention of netizens. Some engineers analyzed that the head of the yacht was too heavy, resulting in an imbalance in the center of gravity, which may be one of the reasons for the sinking of the ship. At the same time, factors such as waterproofing problems and incomplete assembly can also cause the yacht to capsize.
The engineer emphasized that "a small engineering error in the manufacturing process will not cause a sinking by itself, but when different factors are combined, the consequences can be very serious."
