Shortly after 8 a.m. the news team at Chicago's WGN Channel 9 went into breaking-news mode, sending out a helicopter and breathlessly reporting that a a plane had crashed into Martin Luther King Drive on the South Side.
The only problem was that what they were reporting on wasn't a real plane crash, but a scene staged for the filming of a television show. Rival news stations had already called police and fire officials about what looked to be a real crash, but Channel 9 was the only one to take the story to the air live.
