📺 The Night a Hacker Hijacked Live TV — and Was Never Caught.

In 1987, viewers in Chicago were watching the news when the screen suddenly cut to a masked figure wearing a rubber head resembling the character from Max Headroom.

The person waved, mumbled nonsense, held up a soda can, and spun around in an office chair.
Then the broadcast snapped back to normal.

Later that night, it happened again — this time on a public TV station — with the intruder delivering a longer, bizarre monologue before being swatted with a flyswatter by someone off-screen.

Engineers were stunned.
Authorities investigated for years.
No one was ever identified.
No arrests.
No confession.

To this day, the Max Headroom TV hijacking remains one of the most famous unsolved broadcast intrusions in history.
Someone broke into live television…
and vanished forever.
