• Moon Landing Hoax

    Hello Everybody,

    People are sooooo gullible ...

    April 1, 1967: Swiss Radio interrupted its regularly scheduled program
    with a news flash: U.S. astronauts had just landed on the moon. For the
    next hour, listeners heard a series of elaborately staged updates,
    complete with reports from correspondents around the world and
    interviews with experts. Belief was near total. Telephone exchanges
    became jammed, and even U.S. authorities in Switzerland, unsure what to believe, began to celebrate. The broadcast concluded with the report
    that the "moonship" would take off from the moon at 7 p.m., and
    listeners were told they could see it return to Earth by watching from
    a high vantage point, away from the city lights. In Zurich this prompted
    a mass exodus of people out of the city up to nearby Mt. Uetliberg. The railroad had to add additional trains to handle the sudden rush of
    passengers. It was another two years before U.S. astronauts actually
    did land on the moon.
