EPIRBs, or even just a PLB, could've ended this way sooner for them. Why take chances with your life adrift at sea when something between $150 to $500 could satellite call for help?

So the story gets even more bizarre. It appears they actually did have an EPIRB aboard, knew about it, but chose not to use it because they didn't feel their lives were in danger? o.O

And that storm that crippled their boat and damaged the mast? Meteorologists say it never happened.

Do documentaries put together by universities have to pay a fee first? If I move into the state and give away old college text books, do I have to pay a fee first? http://www.forbes.com/sites/evapereira/2012/10/19/minnesota-bans-free-online-education/
