Video: Ah, yes, Grand Theft Auto V: Where destruction is crowd-sourced.
Recently, GTA V player RZED was curious about whether over a hundred people could sink a yacht in-game. With admirable scientific rigour, RZED collected a mass of bodies onto the bow of a large boat. He used a mod to make it driveable. What happens next is not remotely shocking.
At first, everything is fine. But slowly, the yacht begins to slow. Then, with a lurch, the boat flings itself from back to front. A few players shot off. And with the grace of a dying beluga whale, the boat’s stern descends into the ocean. For a while, it bobs underwater, triumphant. It had sunk.
RZED has conducted several similar experiments, including “Can 100+ Stop the Tram in GTA 5?” and “Can a Train Stop the Train in GTA 5?” When asked what he got out of his titanic experiment, RZED did not return our request for comment.

Youtube views probably.
It’s a shame because I actually quite like seeing actual physics quirks in games, but this is almost certainly faked. RAGE’s physics engine just doesn’t work like this. The ‘how many people will stop a 747’ video was also faked but much more obviously.
Yeah you get the impression the physics of both the tugboat and yacht seem completely broken before they even begin.
Seems more like he’s tacked existing vehicle physics to the boats with mods and that’s what’s causing the shenanigans.
