Disney has announced details on a new episode of “IMPACT x Nightline”, which is called “Gone In 16 Minutes: Sinking of The Superyacht”.

The documentary tells the story of a luxury superyacht that sank off the coast of Italy in just 16 minutes, sparking global intrigue as several of its wealthy passengers remained missing, including the yacht’s billionaire owner, British tech tycoon Mike Lynch. Lynch had just been given a second chance at freedom after avoiding decades in prison in a fraud trial. However, his new lease on life lasted only 74 days as he and his teen daughter were then reported dead, along with five others, in the sinking of his sailing yacht, Bayesian.

“IMPACT x Nightline” investigates what could have caused the world-class yacht to sink and exclusively speaks to those who can paint a portrait of the man called Britain’s Bill Gates.

The episode, led by “Nightline” co-anchor Juju Chang, features new, exclusive interviews with those close to Mike Lynch, and relatives of the superyacht sinking victims, including Greg Morvillo, brother of Lynch’s defense attorney Chris Morvillo, and Marko Kresojevic and Benedict Macklow-Smith, close friends of Hannah Lynch, the youngest of those deceased in the sinking.

This new episode also includes additional interviews with:

• Captain Glenn Shephard, sailing yacht captain and reality star on Bravo’s “Below Deck Sailing Yacht”
• Danny Fortson, correspondent for The Sunday Times and host of the “Danny in the Valley” podcast
• Dan Lenard, co-founder and chief of design, Nuvolari Lenard
• Susannah Gurdon, a friend of the Lynch Family
• Reid Weingarten, defense attorney for Mike Lynch
• Marcello Meli, shipbroker, Luise Group
• Stewart Campbell, editor in chief, Boat International Media
• Patrick Jacob, a friend of the Lynch Family

ABC News Studios’ “IMPACT x Nightline: Gone In 16 Minutes: Sinking of The Superyacht” will be released on Thursday, 14th November 2024, only on Hulu and Hulu On Disney+.   Previous episodes are also available on Hulu and Hulu On Disney+.
