"The host of “Candid Camera” was Allen Funt. He was one of the most famous people in the world. His TV show revolved around having hidden cameras and tricking people and putting them into crazy fake scenarios.
He was on a an airplane once that got hijacked. But not as part of the show, it really got hijacked! Halfway through the ordeal, passengers started to recognize him, and started saying things like, “Oh thank God this isn’t real. We’re on Candid Camera”. He tried hard to convince people that this was a real hijacking, which it was.
When the whole thing was over and people were getting off the plane (in Cuba) they yelled at Funt and generally expressed anger towards him.
Are we really sure it wasn't the same person each time? Like isn't that the basic plot of Ghost Ship, an immoral being collecting souls from ships....
what til you look up newspaper stories from the last 200 years that always say "6 million people died from so and so" exactly like the holocaust story many years later
Well, only in the U.S. Never heard of him in Europe...
