What do you call 32 Influencers at the bottom of the ocean?

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the The DU Lounge forum).

A multi-million dollar yacht carrying influencers sank on Saturday (3 May) with a witness describing the ‘very concerning’ incident.

The 63-foot Tecnomar for Lamborghini was just off the coast of Miami Beach, Florida, when it began taking on water near Flagler Monument Island, a popular man-made spot in the Biscayne Bay.

There were 32 people onboard the yacht worth roughly an eye-watering $4.5 million (£3.4 million) as it eventually ended up being ‘flipped over’.

Multiple services responded to the scene as the US Coast Guard’s (USCG) southeastern division responded to a call at about 5pm local time.

Shill - an accomplice of a hawker, gambler, or swindler who acts as an enthusiastic customer to entice or encourage others.
