I saw something on TV (years ago) about how one of the news stations tried to reenact a side hit and explosion. Apparently they tried it a few times with no luck. They had so much money invested in the test and TV, they rigged the truck to explode on tape. They then aired it on TV and failed to mention that they rigged it to explode. Later the word got out and they were forced to make a public apology. Does anyone else remember this?
The TV show that did this was one of the bigger nation wide broadcasters.
