Did anyone catch this last night on Discovery? Basically it's a series in which people tell stories about harrowing experiences. This week it was about passengers on a yacht who were adrift at sea for 6 days or so. Pretty interesting, although the re-enactment was way incredibly cheesy. Two guys drank seawater and went crazy, eventually jumping off the raft and getting eaten by sharks. One woman had been cut in the leg when the yacht went down, and died very slowly of blood poisoning from the infected wound. The other two survivors were rescued by a Russian ship shortly after she died.

wow, this sounds really sick.

by the way, here's a pre-post congrats on 1,000 posts.

Well, it's more of a "triumph against the odds"-type show, or at least it tries to be. They don't go out of thier way to show the deaths.

annd, sorry, i didn't mean sick like "gross" i meant really cool

hey man, it's okay, no worries. sometimes i get this stupid long island lingo stuck in my head.

I watched it and enjoyed it, I liked the anatomy/physiology spots they did where they were explaining what was happening with their bodies.

I thought the end was a bit abrupt, I wanted to hear how long it took them to heal from their physical ailments (dehydration, staph infections etc).

I will try to catch it next week, I think.

That's hilarious.

Yea, I saw this one a while ago. It was pretty interesting and horrific.

God bless,

Nat'l Geographic did a survival thing following 3 guys stranded in the desert, woods, and frozen mountains consecutively. They told you from the start that one guy would die. It was an awesome special.
