Tasmania: Fake meteorite crater near the school and images of a giant meteorite caused a panic
The school authorities clarified that the meteorite fall was actually staged to draw attention to the school’s Discovery Day.
The artificially created meteorite crater in the school parking lot, which was supposed to draw attention to the “Discovery Day” organized by the school, turned out to be so believable that it caused a panic on social networks and scared users. ABC reports.
On the page of the Corpus Christi Catholic School, located in the suburbs of the city of Hobart in the Australian state of Tasmania, photos appeared on social networks that showed a huge smoking crater in the parking lot and people in #hazmat suits exploring a huge boulder. The scene was cordoned off with police tape. Later, these photos were published on their page by the local fire department. One of the pictures showed a truck, a police car and smiling law enforcement officers at the scene of a fake accident.
“Urgent news! A meteorite fell in front of our school. Authorities have already arrived at the scene. Please avoid this area while the investigation is ongoing,” the caption to the photo said. Deputy school principal Ben Morgan said that the idea of staging a meteorite fall as a morning surprise for schoolchildren was being prepared by the leadership of the educational institution for a month.
