Survivors say stunt left them twisted

A January 2007 radio contest left one woman dead and others emotionally damaged. Since the contest, the radio station's owners have fired 10 people, including the DJs involved; contestants developed what they say is an irrational fear of water and sued the broadcaster; the deceased's husband and children filed their own wrongful-death suit; and lawyers involved have submitted thousands of pages of claims and counterclaims. The contest required participants to drink water without urinating over a three-hour period on "the Morning Rave" program. They were asked to drink 8-ounce bottles every 10 minutes. After they had consumed eight of them, they were given 16-ounce bottles to drink every 10 minutes.
