The US Coast Guard released audio of the mayday call they received on Monday, June 11, 2012, in which someone claiming to be the captain of a large yacht named Blind Date reported that the boat had exploded and several of the 21 people were dead, injured or in the water. Dozens of boats and helicopters and hundreds of rescuers never found any trace of a boat in the area and now believe it was a hoax.

    This is a pretty sick hoax. Wow, if this person was caught, I hope that he’d get in a lot of trouble..not to mention a psych evaluation. What a huge response as well, putting so lives at risk!
