The flaming (fire, that is) Latvian hoax

APPARENTLY- a news station known to the Latvian public as Tele2 staged an elaborate hoax for the public to feign them away from suicidal thoughts and tickle their spirits after the global economic meltdown.

Someone dug a giant hole claiming it was the "impact crater" left behind from the Meteorite.


There was just one problem:
A BASIC LACK OF CONSIDERATION FOR SCIENTIFIC FACT: meteorites are not on fire or even remotely hot when they land on Earth. Nice going boys...

Still just 2 years shy of 2012- its certainly a great way to prod us all with "doomsday" scenarios!
Either way- I forgive the Latvians. They have a unique culture and hauntingly beautiful men. At least the ones I've seen...:)
