Don't forget that in 1986, CBS was hungry to air the first video of the Chernobyl plant after the explosion.

They paid $10,000 for aerials of the smoking plant.... which turned out to be aerials of cement factory in northern Italy.

After all, just because it was set in the mountains (Chernobyl is in flat, mildly rolling country) and there was a rooftop sign in non-Cyrillic characters, and Fiats, Lancias and cement trucks everywhere, who could have known?

Remember, CBS's "Man on the scene in Dallas, our new reporter Dan Rather...." announced that JFK had been pronounced dead about 25 minutes before he was.

Idiots
