Dramatic video shows a brand new luxury yacht sinking just minutes after it was launched off the coast of Turkey, forcing its crew to leap overboard.
According to reports, the new $1 million vessel, an 85-foot cruiser named Dolce Vento, was launched Tuesday in the Ereğli district of Zonguldak, a port city on Turkey’s Black Sea.
The amateur video shows the boat being pushed into the ocean down a track on the beach and then swaying within 15 minutes of setting off.
As bystanders watched, the luxury yacht lurched to one side, tilting dangerously before taking on water.

According to TMZ, a spokesperson for the shipyard hosting the yacht, Med Yilmaz, said the cause of the disaster is under investigation.
Technical inspections will be carried out to determine whether a construction flaw, balance issue, or human error doomed the luxury vessel.
