Divers are scouring the wreck of the 184ft vessel for any sign of 18-year-old Hannah Lynch, who is the last of six passengers still missing from the sinking off the coast of Sicily on Monday. The search for Hannah, a bright student who recently secured a place to read English at Oxford, is said to have been hindered by debris blocking accessibility to all areas of the yacht.
Luca Cari, a spokesman for the fire rescue service, told Sky News : ‘It’s very difficult to move inside the wreckage. Moving just one metre can take up to 24 hours.’ The national head of the fire brigade Carlo Dall’Oppio told the Mail operations are proceeding slowly because they must protect the safety of the divers.
