📺 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.

It wasn’t an earthquake.
A wave of molasses rushed through the streets at 50 km per hour, crushing buildings and trapping people like quicksand.
21 people died.
150 were injured.
