A $79MILLION superyacht owned by a Saudi prince capsized and partially sunk while it was docked in Greece.
The 230ft Nourah of Riyad, owned by Prince Turki bin Mohammed bin Fahd Al Saud, was being lifted out of the water for repairs when it capsized.
The luxury liner was at a repair yard, the Megatechnica shipyard in Perama, Athens, when it was turned at a 45-degree angle, becoming partially submerged in the water.
The exceptionally expensive accident happened at around midday on Sunday as it was undergoing anti-fouling works.
The yacht's crew and workers are said to be safe and nobody was injured when it capsized.
There was no marine pollutiuon as a result of the incident.

I have lived my whole life around private boats.
More people with no skills except shopping.
The money comes out of the ground: oil or dead parents.

What, no helicopter landing on that yacht. If I were a Saudi Prince I would not never buy a yacht without a helicopter on board.

I hate it when that happens.

I have no idea, but I would think an $80 million dollar boat would look a lot nicer than that. Maybe most of the money was spent on gold leaf bathrooms and such.

This kind of thing is not an accident, IMHO... I'd intensively interrogate all the royal relatives that he arrested a couple of weeks ago...
Pay-back’s a bitch...

How about some compassion here? Don’t you remember how you felt when your superyacht sank? Hasn’t that happened to everyone sometime in their life?

Too much cargo along the starboard side?Nope. They had the Pakistanis load everything. What do the wacky Pakis know about a "seaworthy" vessel?
