On the news was announced a meteor shower would hit a small town in the netherlands. News, radio, local and nationwide tv were there to witness this event. When all were waiting all of a sudden a smoke cloud rises above the forrest ahead. There apparently was a meadow fire. Luckilly the authorities were already there to guide the public, so they noticed the fire quickly.
So the fire was taken care of and now the public was waiting for the meteorshower to hit. Then all of a sudden planes fly over and parachutist drop. April fools day!!
The media still were glad to be there to broadcast the fire, so it was one good joke!
