HORRIFYING CCTV shows the moment the Bayesian superyacht was engulfed by the storm that would eventually sink it.
The new video shows the lights of the doomed vessel in the distance slowly disappear as it is swallowed by the heavy rain.
The new clip comes from the CCTV cameras just 200m from where the boat sank.
One witness said he looked at his cameras when he heard news of the sinking, according to Giornale Di Sicilia.
“In just sixty seconds – says the owner of the villa – you can see the ship disappear.
“Of about twenty cameras installed in the house, only one was not disturbed by the wind and rain. You can clearly see what is happening.
“There was nothing that could be done for the boat. It disappeared in a very short time.”
The £14million luxury vessel capsized on Monday after it was caught in a tornado off the coast of Porticello, Sicily.
The frantic hunt for six people still missing is into its second day.
It is believed there is a second video which has not been published that shows the boat sinking.
The clock is ticking with drivers trying to fight their way through blockages in the 50m deep wreck.
They have now opened a hole in the hull of the Bayesian to get in through another direction, Italian outlet Il Messaggero reports.
Furniture has made it impossible for the divers to move through the inside of the boat and reach the cabins.
As time runs out, the brave search and rescue workers only have 10 minutes working in the water at a time.
They are also using an underwater vehicle to help divers, as well as five patrol boats and one helicopter searching from above the water.
Vincenzo Zagarola, a spokesman for the coast guard, said they believe the missing people are still inside as the yacht sank in just a few minutes.
He said: “We think they are still inside the boat, that is our very hard idea. Our search and rescue activity by sea and air has gone on for around 36 hours.
“Of course, we do not exclude that they are not inside the boat, but we know the boat sank quickly.
“We suppose that the six people missing may not have had time to get out of the boat.”
Divers are still assessing the safety of the superyacht before they can enter and look for possible survivors.
The dead chef has tragically been named as Recaldo Thomas, a Canadian-Antiguan.
Pal Eli Fuller shared a heartbreaking tribute with the BBC saying Recaldo: “knew everybody and was friends with everybody.
“He’d always ask how you were doing, how your family was – he was always positive.
“Personality was very important in his job. The world’s richest people want to hang out with someone social. He was sought after.”
Four of the missing from the Bayesian yacht disaster are British and two are American.
They include businessman Mike Lynch, dubbed “Britain’s Bill Gates” and his teenage daughter 18-year-old Hannah Lynch.
Her former school, Latymer Upper School in Hammersmith, west London, has released a statement.
It reads: “We are all incredibly shocked by the news that Hannah and her father are among those missing in this tragic incident and our thoughts are with their family and everyone involved as we await further updates.”
Lynch’s wife Angela Bacares, 57, was rescued with horrific injuries from walking across broken glass to get to safety.
International chairman of bank giant Morgan Stanley, Brit Jonathan Bloomer, 70, is also missing along with his wife Judy.
As is top New York lawyer Chris Morvillo, a solicitor at major firm Clifford Chance who worked for Mike Lynch, and his wife Neda.
Clifford Chance lawyer Ayla Ronald, 36, and her partner were among those rescued.
The Kiwi snapped the last picture taken from onboard the Bayesian, a beautiful orange sunset only hours before tragedy struck.
Ayla was there celebrating Lynch’s acquittal from fraud charges after he won a US trial in June relating to the billion-pound sale of his business Autonomy.
Her father Lin said Ayla, 36, text him yesterday saying “there are deaths”, the Telegraph reported.
Another New Zealander who survived the ship’s sinking was the captain James Catfield, 51.
He told Italian media that they did not see the tornado coming.
Other survivors include South Africans Leah Randall and Katja Chicken who were both able to leave coastguard headquarters yesterday.
