    I have heard of a movie about this... part trailer but didn't watch it cause it was broadcasted late at night.

    The yacht didn't have any ladder for the swimmers to be able to get on the yacht again (and the yacht had high 'walls' if I can call the outer side of the boat like that), hence they were forced to stay in the water, and eventually died. Is that it?

    Well, initially, all the people jump in the water to go swimming, but nobody thought about seeing if they had a way back to the yacht.

    I will try another one for you guys it might be hard to figure out. I hope I am not getting these from the same site that Morgaine does.

    A man is driving his car. He turns on the radio, then pulls over to the side of the road and shoots himself.

    Was the radio working properly?

    Did what he heard on radio the cause of his suicide?

    Is his location relevant?

    Was the radio broadcasting news when he was listening to it?

    Is it relevant that he chose to switch on the radio?

    Is he using a gun? Or was it a syringe?

    He turned on the radio right when it announced the time. He remembered it was time for his insulin shot... so...

    Brain washing over the radio to commit mass suicide


    He was hypnotised earlier in life and given a secret word which if ever utter meant he would commit suicide



    He shot himself with his camera i.e sight seeing

    The radio wasn't playing news. Was it playing a song? Did the song remind him of someone? Something?

    Was there possibly a sports game on the radio?

    I just had to pick the hardest one to answer. Lets see here. It was playing a song. No it didn't remind him of someone or something.

    Was he the singer or a musician in the song?

    Did he know the singer or musician in the song?

    Did he just really hate the song? (I have a few like that... but I'd just turn the station. ;))

    Did he know the singer or musician in the song? Probably not on a personal level.

    Did he just really hate the song? (I have a few like that... but I'd just turn the station. ) I have a few songs I would do that to also. But No.

    Was he expecting something to hear on radio then?

    Is the destination he's driving to relevant? (as a clearer question to the location one)

    Was he expecting something to hear on radio then? Yes he was expecting to hear something on the radio, and to give a hint, he heard something else.

    Is the destination he's driving to relevant? (as a clearer question to the location one) Yes, I would say it is.

    I like Unky's change in tactic - possibly expecting to hear something else.

    Is the song itself relevant?

    Is he depressed? Worried? In trouble with the law? Grieving?

    Was he alone in the car?

    It was an emergency announcement about an APB out for a suspicious looking character who robbed a bank and shot some people. He didn't remember what had happened, and he matched the description of the shooter, he then shot himself in horror.

    Is he driving to work?

    Is he going to see someone? For a relevant purpose?

    Is his destination related to what he expected to hear on radio?
