    News Report

    Well, at least now we have an idea of what may have happened in the end

    of this tragic mishap. According to a report today on Global News (Canada)

    the survivor reports the other three men lost there minds in the end and,

    allegedly due to hypothermia, cast off their life jackets and swam for

    shore, even though shore was nowhere in sight. A photo was shown of the

    survivor sitting atop the overturned vessel in calm seas wearing his life

    jacket. He also reported the three became combative with each other

    shortly before swimming away.

    I have seen grown men lose their minds over much less than a situation like that. During a 'one million rand bonanza' you win if you catch a tagged fish, guys wanted to break into the place after some of the places were full and the gates were closed, they wouldn't allow anyone to even walk to the water's edge. One guy was shot by someone because he swam out to a tree to fish from there. They recon he had a better chance than they had from shore.

    Next time at an auction just watch how people behave when they announce the bargain of a lifetime. Scary.

    Fannie I also have seen adults act in a completely uncivilized fashion when faced with some even trivial stress situations
    panic is ugly
    its embarrassing
    for them but also for there loved ones who are unlucky enough to observe there little slip from humanity
    it pays to stop and think when faced with adversity
