Passengers who narrowly escaped with their lives from a yacht when it capsized are planning legal action in order to hold the owners to account.
David Taylor, from Treswell in Nottinghamshire, thought he and his son Christian were going to die when they realised they were trapped below deck. "Fernando was desperately trying to find a way to open this escape hatch but all we saw was a decorative wooden façade with no handles," he said.David and Christian Taylor had been enjoying their trip to Egypt before the boat capsizedChristian was only able to escape by climbing up his dad, who then escaped by climbing up Fernando, who potentially sacrificed himself because there was nobody left for him to climb on.
"A few of our group did approach the captain with their concerns and they were told numerous things but not to worry.Image source,Sally Nolan was also among the passengers. She is British but has lived in Altea, Spain, for 20 years. "My friend, Terri, who had been sat to the left of me, was unable to hold on. She fell past me over furniture and railings into the sea and I lost sight of her.""Our friend, Fernando, still remained missing for quite a while and his story is still so hard to hear," said Sally.Fernando, who was still trapped and unable to climb the stairs, waited until the water level inside the boat was higher, which meant he could float up.
