No warnings?
With weather conditions there?
"Other experts questioned
why the crew wasn’t paying closer attention to various weather warnings ahead of the tragedy.
'I don’t know if there was anyone on board consulting the radar.
Let’s say that if I had been on board, at the first sign of a thunderstorm, I would have woken up all the occupants and been ready and alert with lifejackets on until the storm was over',
one of Italy’s leading climate experts said."

Yes, well -- I was referring to your own attached link from the NYP; that described the 'black swan phenomenon' , and how quickly it can overtake a boat of any size....regardless of the cloudy weather.
Basically the wind whipping up and behaving differently over a body of water ?
Described as rare, unexpected, and without warning :

"....The spontaneous formation of a tornado-like waterspout would have given the 22 passengers and crew aboard the luxury vessel little to no time to react..."
Swift and deadly.
I was with friends on a smaller boat on just a lake (lake Superior), & not the ocean ; and the waves came up on a fairly sunny day.
We were tossed all over the place, and that is not something I want to repeat.
Eek.
Omo.
