    One example would be of someone who is dying of a disease fo which there is no cure. Or someone stuck someone in the wild with no food or water, and no way to get help to them. Or for a real life example, the people who were in the twin towers on 9/11 when it was hit were in a dire situation. Hope this helps!

    a dire situation:

    ok, so you are back in the 1980's.

    Russia is the U.S.S.R. and still control East Germany and the Eastern Bloc.

    the Cold War is on full alert

    US military and their nukes are aimed at every major Russian city

    Russian military and THEIR nukes are aimed at every major US city

    suddenly, a US far-range radar early missile warning system goes red! a nuke has been launched by Russia! its trajectory is calculated to be going for NYC!

    it's a dire situation for the US, the President specifically, and the entire world! World War 3 has begun!

    you have black shoes with laces. On the big evening hobnobbing with the bosses the laces are missing and all the shops are shut. Your trainers don't go with your black suit.

    An interview for a new job and you can't find your dentures.

    At the railway station waiting for the connecting train. There isn't one.

    I have received a new message said Yahoo and I can't stay chatting to you. xxxx

    You are bungie jumping, and the cord just snapped.

    You are parachuting and your parxchute failed to open.

    You are driving down a steep hill, and find your brakes don't work.

    You are hiking in summer clothes, and a sudden blizzard strikes.

    You are flown to a very remote lake, to camp & fish, and the plane

    never comes back to pick you up.
